Product Description
Take two-they're small. And they perform miracles. Suffering a career-ending, potentially crippling injury to her back and right leg, a young dancer named Elaine Petrone tried everyone from orthopedists to yogis to turn her pain and prognosis around. Nothing worked-until she healed herself through a unique program of therapy and exercise based around the use of two small, squishy balls. From there she turned her passion into a mission that is helping the thousands of people who visit her classes conquer pain, stress, and injury.
Now, for relief for sufferers everywhere, comes The Miracle Ball Method, a healing kit containing two miracle balls and a fully illustrated book, all packaged together in an attention-getting clear plastic cylinder. The work itself is simple. Take a sore back: By resting your aching back on the grapefruit-sized balls and letting your body sink into them, you're unworking the muscles that hurt. Pain and tension drain out of the body. Petrone shows how proper breathing (which she demonstrates) works in conjunction with a range of unexercises that call for placing the balls under the back, head, knees, hip, elbow-wherever there's pain-and then resting, rolling, or rotating on them. She points out that relief can come in surprising ways: Lower back pain may be helped by placing the ball under your neck, or a bad knee might be helped by hip work. It's arevolutionary program of relief, from head to toe.

 I'm A Believer October 8, 2008
I first came across the Miracle Ball at my son's home when he was using it. I looked at the packaging, and decided to try it. I am very happy. I think that they are worth every penny paid, and then some. I even use mine in a way that is not described in the book. Because they are so gentle, and afford so much control, I can crack my own back without outside help (without a chiropracter or my husband's assistance), and I can feel every movement as various parts of my body become more flexible and better adjusted. I even sleep with mine. They are great for putting in spots that take or need more pressure (in the arch of an aching back, or between the knees while lying on one's side). I highly recommend them to everybody. I use mine every day.
 Careful - Beginners don't over do October 6, 2008
I was so energized to receive my package that I started using it immediately and used it multple times over the weekend. By Monday, I was worse off, having overworked new muscles. This scared me off a bit, but I plan to try again, following the instructions for frequency of use this time.
Relief For Frozen Shoulder October 2, 2008
I have suffered with frozen shoulder for over 4 years in my right shoulder and now even my left shoulder is bothering me. I've done lots of physical therapy and at home stretches. It does help some but not completely. When I saw this Miracle Ball Method I decided that for the price it was worth a try. I tried some of the positions in the book and devised some of my own. I have really noticed a difference after just a couple weeks. It has even done wonders for my lower back. I just tune into my favorite TV program and relax. Very much worth it.
Feel the changes right away September 29, 2008
This is a great, effective and easy to use kit. The miracle balls are indeed a miracle. Elaine has suggested simple and effective placements for the balls which allow this to work for you. Ease into your own body with this simple to use method. Thank you Elaine.
These work for pain relief and release of trigger points September 29, 2008

I just got them and they really are wonderful. I'm a full on, stress tension breath holder - these address all of those issues and more. I can't imagine that they would do much actual re-shaping, but they will afford you some great muscle relaxation so that you can do other, more intense exercise, without injuring yourself. I really love them! I travel a lot for work and always wind up 1200 miles from home with a bad case of "airplane neck", so I also bought the travel ball/book.
