Summary: Great Technique
Review: Two small, cushy balls accompany a paperback exercise book that is meant to relieve pain, tone your body and improve posture. The manual begins with simple breathing exercises to help the individual relieve stress. Once the individual's breathing is regulated it is time to move on to the exercises, and the fun-part...the balls. The exercise techniques presented in this manual are simple and straight forward, however constructive. This is a system to help you relieve stress, tension and pain from head-to-toe. I would recommend The Miracle Ball Method.

Summary: Great Little Balls- You Will Be Convinced Once You've Tried!
Review: When I first saw this set of 2 small, blue-green balls, I really wondered whether they were any good. Decided to take a chance, and I am sure glad I did. Propped myself over these 2 semi-inflated balls on the floor and it was sheer bliss as my own body weight sank upon them.The set consist of 2 approximately 4 inch (11 cm) diameter therapy balls (re-inflatable) and a pocket-sized 296 page insruction book packed in a transparent casing. The balls are approx. a half-inch (1 cm) thick each, and are not as thin-skinned as might be imagined. The book says that the balls are built tough, and are good for up to 300 pounds, and I believe the claim is sustainable. In my opinion, these 2 little balls are fantastic value for money for what they are capable of, and you would be surprised how nice it feels once you prop your tired body over them at the end of a long day. Although these are therapy balls, you may also want to use them as I frequently do - a simple and 'fun' way of giving your body a much needed self-massage, merely by placing them at strategic locations beneath your body and resting over them. By the way, I am not one of Ms. Elaine Petrone's student, since I am writing from half a world away. But, I am definitely her fan now after being convinced by these 2 little 'Miracle' balls! Go www.elainepetrone.com for more info. My advice: considering their low price, get them while they are available, as these little balls are 'hot' - they were all sold out on Amazon.com until recently.

Summary: A mass-marketed version of an already-existing technology
Review: Yamuna Zake invented this technology over a decade ago; her company Yamuna Body Rolling sells a line of balls for body rolling. Amazon sells the Yamuna book. Ball Dynamics has sold a line of similar balls for many years. In my area, local stores sell these balls. Both of these systems have 3 balls of varying diameter; they did that because that's what they found works! The systems also include a pump to allow for getting a precise pressure in the balls. I cannot imagine how such a system would work without having a pump to alter the pressure. Both the Yamuna and BDI balls are much more thick-skinned than the "miracle" ball. This is crucial for providing padding for the body when rolling. Using a thin-skinned ball is like doing Pilates matwork with no mat! Finally, I strongly recommend getting hands-on instruction to start with any kind of technology like this. This kind of deep-muscle work is challenging technology; 'tis quite useful to get experienced help while learning it.
