 It WorksDec 30, 2009
By Lilly Green
I love this method! I have used it on and off for several years. The concept is simple, gravity does the work and using the breath to release excess tension allows the body to relax. This is explained throughout the DVD. Elaine explaines that, "feeling the body is the fist step to changing the way the body aligns."
I have had only a positive experience with the balls. Her method is almost like accupressure in the joints. Also, it is explained to go at your own pace. People who are very tight in the joints may feel alot of excess pain that they are use to ignoring and it may seem as if injury has been caused by doing the method.
I have had various injuries before I tried this method. I purchased this in an attempt to HELP MYSELF HEAL, and it does help.
The most important aspect I have learned through using this method is to allow healing to happen.
Finally, if you are ready to get in touch with your body, I highly recommend giving it a try.

 Disappointed in VideoDec 19, 2009
By Walker
The balls are fine, but I was really disappointed in the video. It was about 45 minutes long and gave very little information about her method and why it works, the goals, etc. There are two subjects in the video, one using 1 ball and the other using 2 balls and no explanation as to why or what might be better for you. It seemed very unprofessional to me.

Infuriatingly incompleteJan 13, 2009
By JJ
On the plus side, this has about 5-10 minutes of useful advice and the balls feel pretty good--I prefer them for some areas to harder massage tools. However, the video is about 45 minutes long, so that's a high haystack/needle ratio. She also never gets around to explaining some things, like why she has her sample woman put two balls under her back while the sample man only uses one (she says she'll explain in a minute, but she never does). She doesn't explain how the balls work or give any cautions about using them, and reviews of her other products show that people have injured themselves on them. So, I'd check with someone with good knowledge of anatomy about how to place the balls and where to avoid using them. If you want the balls, I'd order the book instead since it's cheaper and presumably has more information. I've watched the DVD once (parts twice to try and find her explanation of ball placement, which never happened). I'll probably never watch it again as all the useful info is easily remembered. I've used the balls a few times, but I can't say they've helped. I wouldn't say this product is worthless, but I'd only value it at about $5.

Video was a bit long.
RELIEF for BACK PAIN!!!!Apr 11, 2012
By Linda Lou
"the busy mom"
I bought the DVD with 2 balls included around 5 or 6 years ago. I was experiencing pain or tension in the back and it seemed that everything I did just worsened the pain for me. I could not find any relief until I happened to see this on Amazon. I could not imagine 2 little balls helping but thought I would have to try it to understand. I watched the video and frankly thought a lot of it was unnecessary so after watching the whole thing I decided to try it. I stopped the video to the point where the 2 balls were actually being used (the beginning is simply relaxation exercises) then got on the floor on my back with knees to my chest and the video on. I placed the balls one at a time under each cheek of my rear-end and held the knees to the chest as suggested then as I felt relief to the back tension, I slowly opened the knees outward and held that position. This does not sound relaxing but I am here to tell you that it is extremely relaxing. I would slowly bring the knees in and hold then out and hold. After just one time of doing this procedure, I swear I thought I was cured. However, I didn't want to hurt anymore so I continued doing this several times a day and after just a few days, I didn't need to do it anymore. This method was such a miracle for me that I immediately went back to Amazon and bought 4 more and sent them to family and friends. I gave the balls to my grandson to play with when he was a baby and never got them back so here I am back at Amazon buying another set for myself. I have continued to recommend this method to friends but it seems that most people are not willing to give it a chance thinking just as I did at first that they could not imagine something so simple working so well. I am here to tell you that it does work and you need to try it and give it a good try before dismissing it saying it doesn't work as some other reviewers have. If you do not understand the instructions, read it again(or watch it again)and again and again until you do. I cannot imagine not understanding but then maybe I am just extremely intelligent - that's a joke! Just follow the instructions I have given above and use it that way. I ordered not only the relaxation method but the toning also because I know what the Elaine Petrone Method can do. The reason this works is that the use of the ball under the butt relaxes and stretches those back muscles which is usually the reason for pain along with inflamation. In addition you can use ice on the back to take out the inflamation. Take into account that I am NOT an MD nor do I pretend or represent myself as any kind of expert but I do know what works.
