Simple healing and stress relief
I was very curious about these balls - especially after reading the reviews here. I have had achy hips and knees for a long time now. Yoga helps me tremendously, but occasionally, even that is not the cure all. After reading through the little booklet, I put these things to work: following the instructions for hips, I placed the balls under my hip area and simply laid on them and breathed. That is all I needed to do. As soon as I started relaxing, I noticed something - on my left side, which is where I have the knee problem, I realized that I had more tension on that side of my body than on my right. It was obvious to me that my knee was overcompensating for the tightness on my left hip - and this was contributing to my issue. So, I continued with the balls and after a few days - presto - looser hips, knee pain GONE!
These balls help to realign the body and dissolve muscular tension. It doesn't take much time out of your day (perhaps about 15 minutes) but it can make a big difference in how you feel.
If you are having serious physical issues, make sure you consult a physician.
You may also want to consider purchasing the book "Get Fit in Bed" by Dr. Genie Tartell and Ted Kavanau Get Fit in Bed: Tone Your Body & Calm Your Mind from the Comfort of Your Bed as an easy to use routine to strengthen your body in addition to the Miracle Balls. Both of these approaches are therapeutic and gentle ways to deal with achy bodies.
