THE ELAINE PETRONE METHOD: STOP THE BACK PAIN

I was in pain when I ordered this. I watched the video and once I stopped making fun of it, I listened to what she (just a girl who licked her pain), try to explain how! It sounds funny the ssssss noise but I swear if you listen to her and do as she says really try and understand what she is explaining and do it!!!! The way she says and WOW! I would sit and do my body diologue and feel pain and tension in three places when I got done with my excercise and did it again I felt none no pain. I have also been seeing a Chiropractor and a Massage therapist both agree this method is a good one, since my therapist uses tennis balls on her back the same way! Good stuff if you are willing to follow directions!

This dvd is not worth the money. The photos shows it has workout for the upper body as well as lower body but it only has lower back. Not worth the money!’ I’m very unhappy

The ball method to stretch is different, but i can tell the difference when I work the back and it has been sore the next day so I know something is getting worked. Jury is still out on the overall performance as it has only been about 10 days

I believe in alternative health fixes rather than another prescription. I have been using this Miracle Ball therapy for years. My first set got lost in my move, I couldn't wait for this set to arrive. I was so pleased to know you can still buy them. Must be popular for many people YEA! I use mine for Sciatica, Low back pain and Relaxation.

The description said DVD, balls and booklet but only the DVD was received. BE WARE!

I have told soooo many people about these. My lower back will go out from time to time and these have saved me thousands of dollars in Dr. and/or Chiropractor visits. I first found them at Costco but then they stopped carrying them. If I use them on a regular basis I'm sure I would never have my back go out at all. Thing is, I get lazy when I'm out of pain and stop using them. But when it happens again I just "get on the balls" and can make a huge shift. The other thing that really helps if I feel it tensing up is to lye prone position over a yoga ball and I can feel it melt away. Between the two I rarely have the debilitating 'back outs' I used to have.

I'm so sad that I wasted my money on this. It's useless. Just a lot of talk and very little action. If you want to try the miracle balls, just get the balls and the book that they come with, that will be enough.

The balls work great, but the DVD only barely shows you how to begin with using them - for your pelvis/back only. There is no instruction for neck, shoulders, lower back. There is too much emphasis on breathing and a "body dialogue" which is a bit hokey, but would be palatable if there had been complete instructions on using the balls. It is a cheap trick to only give "introductory" instruction - you have to buy other CDs to get full instruction. This leaves one with a bad taste in the mouth, and a feeling of being taken. All of that said, I do like the balls themselves, so it wasn't a complete disappointment. Too bad they took the low road. I hate feeling like I was snookered.

I bought Elaine's Stop The Clock DVD and Miracle Balls Method last year and was so happy something that didn't involve pain killers worked to make my back and hips not hurt. Last month my adult son was having horrible pains in his hip so I gave him my Miracle Balls Method and within one week he was able to sleep again and walk and work without pain. I wanted him to keep these balls, so I decided to buy the Stop The Back Pain. The warm up and cool down is the same as what is in Stop The Clock, but the workout for relieving back pain is different and works so well. It concentrates totally on the back where Stop The Clock Elaine shows you how to relieve pain in the neck, shoulders and back.

I think these balls are great for some people but no so much for my husband and I. We have used them a few times and our backs seem to be a little worse now. But we are going to keep on trying for a while longer. They came really fast. I think that we just need to do more reading and learning about them. to ensure we are using them properly. I think they can be a great benefit to me if I can start to use them correctly.

I have severe back pain; always have since I was a little girl. My doctor told me to just try a hard mattress, which is what I've been using since I was 10. I've only done the exercise a few times, and my back has never felt better. I find I'm not slouching as much as I used to and I just feel better about my self. I've already recommended this DVD to both family and friends. The package itself arrived within a week of ordering which was fantastic.

Bought it for the ball, as they are worth it for the price. Great for massage on painful, weak or fragile areas. Can't comment on the DVD.

Amazing how it fixes posture !
