Has anyone used the Miracle Ball Method for exercise?

16 years ago

Has anyone used the Elaine Petrone's Miracle Ball Method to help relieve tension on their body(shoulders, neck, hip, back, etc.)? Did the balls help reduce soreness/tension on your body? Would you get these balls? I have tension around my shoulders and neck areas and would like to reduce these aches. Thanks in advance.

I'm a personal trainer and I use the miracle method ball all of the time. I would highly recommend this product. I've bought them for all of my clients and for my family. It works gentler than a tennis ball and has realigned my back and relieved my headaches and muscle tension. The balls are gentle and enable the muscles to relax so your skeletal system can realign. Costco sells them for about $10.00. I can't say enough good things about this product!

Less expensive is to put a tennis ball or two in a sock and roll it around the neck and shoulder areas.

I purchased a Homedics back massager, keep it on while I watch TV or read and it really helps.

Another consideration would be to purchase a high density foam roller, they come in many sizes but if you get a 36" x 6" you can use it all over. Physical therapists use them for aligning the spine, neck stretches and a verity of other uses. I just ordered one and plan on using it for myofacia /fibromyalgia/arthritis pain. It most likely will not be 100% as affective as deep tissue massage but will hopefully come close. There are a few good books out there on this subject along with instructions and trigger points but I havenÂt weeded through them all yet. After years of studying Pilates, ball, yoga, and traditional weight training, this is new to me. However, after having three deep tissue massages lately and discovering how amazing the results were for me I can not wait to learn a way I can help myself. IÂm not kidding after three deep tissue massages I felt like someone had pulled me out of a little box and I could perform exercises at a much higher level, my concentration and energy was also greatly improved. Reading about deep tissue massage can be very interesting it also supposedly releases stored toxins.

susieeg54 back in 2005, I established and ran a website (scamdetectors.com, no longer functional) for the sole purpose of warning the public regarding fraudulent and misleading business opportunities and other scams. At that time, people weren't aware of how to put those running such endeavors out of business, but thanks to getting them organized and learning where and how to file complaints, various states' attorney generals, the FTC and DOJ have aggressively moved in recent years to protect the public and have put these people out of business and into prison. And based solely on sbryce's initial reply, it sounds like that's what you're most likely involved with. So do some research on "Operation Bottom Dollar" and Operation Lost Opportunity" to see what people recently charged and convicted in those cases did. And if any of that applies in your situation, I'd bring that to Mr. Monroe's attention and request a full refund. And if he doesn't do that, you can file a mail fraud complaint, which will be investigated and then referred to the FTC, who will then refer the case to the DOJ for criminal prosecution if he has violated the law (which he did if he didn't provide you with the required documentation regarding actual "realized" (and not just "potential") profits as referred to in the 11/15/12 news release regarding the most recent actions taken in Operation Lost Opportunity). Thanks to the way websites are archived, you can also learn a lot about fraudulent business opportunities at this link to my former website. Fortunately, most of the individuals involved in those fraudulent business opportunities have entered into plea agreements or have been convicted, and are now paying restitution, in prison or awaiting trial and/or sentencing. So I was truly surprised to see that anyone, especially after previously being shut down, is still offering anything less than a legitimate business opportunities since it will most likely eventually put them in prison. Please let me know if you need additional information or help and I'll be glad to do what I can in that regard; even though I no longer maintain the contact I used to with state and federal law enforcement agencies and there's now a lot of information available on the FTC website about filing fraudulent business opportunity complaints. And I wish you well in your vermicomposting endeavors--it's lots of fun, and with time and patience, probably has the potential to supplement your income a bit; though it sounds like your initial investment was a lot more than necesary.

Facial exercise is very effective for the eyes. Take a look at flexeffect.com. I started doing their exercises several years ago and I can tell a real difference if I stop doing it for a few months. It helps tighten up the undereye area and makes your lids thicker and not crepey. I bought just her $15 first video and that's all.

If you do a check of webMD it says that Moringa Zija is a plant from India, Pakistan etc. This is what it said "Moringa is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth and used appropriately. The leaves, fruit, and seeds might be safe when eaten as food. However, itÃ¢ÂÂs important to avoid eating the root and its extracts. These parts of the plant may contain a toxic substance that can cause paralysis and death. Moringa has been used safely in doses up to 6 grams daily for up to 3 weeks." I don't think I'd try this unless I was desperate. It sounds like it could be bad. Thiis does sound like MLM. On another note, I have a couple of co-workers that swear by Isogenix which is another MLM. I generally keep an open mind because I know that there's a lot we just don't know. But when I asked one of them how much it cost, she told me $900 per month. It's basically a meal replacement plan with lots of vitamins and such. They seem to do a cleanse for 3 days out of 7. They eat their smoothies every day at lunch. They said they feel great and they plan to never quit this program. I can't imagine paying $900 per month for the rest of their lives. Seems crazy to me.

new Kohler shower pan stained; Miracle Method cleaning? x-post

I can vouch for the ROG cleaner. I just received it a week ago and used it on my Kohler cast iron tub's non-slip surface which, BTW, never looked new even when the tub was first installed. The tub was delivered to my house in a crate and the bottom was not protected so the non-slip surface was already dirty looking before the tub was installed. My tub has been in place for 13 years and has been used daily. The cleaner was expensive, but totally worth it. None of the other recommended cleaners from Kohler's "accepted" list worked AT ALL. The ROG has two steps. First was the blue cleaner (ROG 3) which is really more of an all-around cleaner. It's a good cleanser with a nice, fresh scent, but it did nothing to rectify the dirty look of the non-slip surface. Second step was the white cleanser (ROG 1) which made the bottom of my tub look brand spanking new! I can see the bottle lasting a long, long time. I do like the blue cleanser a lot, much better than the Dow I was using, and I will purchase more of it. I don't mind spending money on products that work, as that is preferable to wasting money on products that don't. Another plus with the blue cleaner is that it foams nicely and you don't have to use much of it. BTW, I believe magic erasers can permanently damage the non-slip surface. As the writer of the blog linked to above mentioned, the ROG3 is the cleanser recommended on Kohler's website, but it didn't really do anything to improve the look of my non-slip surface. I think it will probably work well to maintain the clean look now that the ROG1 has been used to restore it to new looking.

I have a foam roller; I bought it from my personal trainer at my gym. He works in sports medicine and got it from his company (Athletico). It was $20. He gave me some exercises to do with it and it works very well--it feels better than a massage. I have back problems and it helps. It also really loosens up and works my leg and glutes.

I got these from Costco for $11. And they are priceless! I had a knee injury that affected my hip and sciatic nerve. It sent pain first to the hip, but by laying with the balls under my hip every morning relived that in a few weeks. Then pain moved down my outer thigh. I continued with the balls under my hips as well as under my thighs and legs. That pain which used to cause me to cripple over is now just a pinch. New sciatic nerve has moved to my hand and arm going numb when I wake up. Working on this now, but each session does relieve the sensation. Don't forget to do the breathing exercise with the ball movements! It is a miracle ball!

I have used them for several years and have given them to many friends. I swear they are the best thing I've ever had for my back and hip. Work through the book to find what works for you. Five minutes under my hips and buttocks and I'm good for the day. On long car trips I use them behind my back. Priceless!!!
