Miracle Ball Method for back pain Posted: 06-23-04 05:32am
I've just invested in the miracle ball
method which seems to be helping albeit
very slowly. I was wondering if anyone
else has tried this method and what
results they have had so far? I've only
been at it for about one week and so far
there have been slight but noticeable
improvements in my back and even in my
feet and legs.
For anyone who doesn't know about it, the
miracle ball method involves resting on
one or two small inflated balls, targeting
problem areas around the body and allowing
the body's own weight combined with deep
breathing to loosen tight muscles. I have
to say that at the very least I have
experienced good temporary relief while
using this method and for the price it's
definately the best and cheapest
investment i've made for my back so far.

Well i've been persisting with this
method, doing about half an hour of ball
therapy a day. I have definately loosened
up some muscles in my back and feel a
noticeable reduction in pain. The pain is
still there but it's not as fierce as it
was before. Prior to this therapy my pain
was unbearble, at present it is managable.
My core problems which are two
hypersensitive areas, upper-back and
mid-back, still exist with only minor
improvement. I remain hopeful that
improvements will occur over time and
because of the degree of relief I have
experienced so far I feel motivated to
continue the therapy if only to keep the
pain that has gone from returning.
I've just finished a session and have now
started adding some yoga moves to the mix.
Some of these moves where previously too
painful to do for any sustained period.
There is one particular stretch which
offers some great relief to me and I will
try to find a photo to post here.
I'll check back here now and then, use
this as a type of diary thread to give an
empirical account of my therapy in action.
What I aim to achieve within the next 6
months: I hope to see fundamental
improvement in my spinal alignment,
posture and an almost total eradication of
my back pain. I will be using ball and
yoga combined therapy and I might just
visit my chiropractor for a few sessions
if his pockets are lucky (they get paid
well!)

Spectacular! Posted: 07-01-04 19:02pm
The results you are achieving by graded
exercises and stretching demonstrates
assiduousness, tenacity, and an excellent
foundation for functional rehabilitation.
If all pain patients were so
motivated.....Sigh....
Well done!
Since having my accident 2 years ago i've
had back and neck pain nearly non stop.
I am moving to a new house this week and
happened to be in a book store and saw the
miracle ball book that came with the two
balls. Let me tell you! I haven't been
able to do some of the things i've been
doing since my accident. I put in a new
wood floor and painted a couple of rooms.
It really worked well for me. I feel
like the chiropractor hurt me a little
more than he helped, although he did help
in some ways. I was looking up more
information about the miracle ball method
when I found this forum. I hope to get a
lot out of it. Btw- I spent $17.95 on
the book and balls. Thats nothing
compared to what I got out of it.

the Miracle Ball Method!!!! Posted: 09-25-07 20:45pm
I have had chronic back and neck pain for
the last four years due to having low back
surgery and a car accident afterwards and
i had purchased the miracle ball method
yesterday thinking what have i got to
lose. I would recommend this to anyone who
has pain. i feel tottally relaxed when i
am finished. My goal is to be off of the
pain meds and muscle relaxers that i have
been on for the last 4 yrs. I know it will
take some time due to the severity of the
pain but i have hope. Like i said before,
i would recommed this to anyone.
