Miracle Ball Method - Does it really work?

[seww]

Have you ever heard of a Thera-Cane?

I have one and it's an amazing tool to give a "self-massage". You can really get into those sore spots and give yourself some relief.

I haven't tried the Miracle Balls, but I like using tennis balls and the Thera-cane. The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook does a great job of explaining trigger point massage and how to use massage tools or your fingers to work trigger points.

I think the set with the book and two balls is better value than the DVD and single ball. The book gives exercises for all over the body (the DVD focuses on neck/shoulder), and I find using two balls more comfortable and natural than using one (I've got both the book and the DVD).

At some point I might look at getting Jill Miller's stuff, but for now I really find the miracle balls helpful for tension release.

Thanks for letting me know...

I used the tennis balls tonight... I'm not sure how to do it but I just lay on the tennis balls on the floor, relax and breath... it feels sooo good and it's actually relieving my pain... is it possible to get relief so quickly? I'll do it again before going to bed! Thanks to all of you for you input

Carla, let us know how it works for you; I keep meaning to try adding more air to my balls like someone here suggested!

I touched them and they are VERY soft compare to the tennis balls I have been usign the last two days. Not sure if I'm going to like it that soft. I'll let you know tonight!
