Any time I have a stiff neck, lower back pain or seemingly inflexible movement in my back or hips, I use these amazing balls and the exercises Ms. Petrone has developed. To me, this has the feel of being your own chiropractor.

For me, this is a safe, stress free and gradual means of easing stress and pain from too much driving, back strain and other spine or hip issues. It really is effective and helpful. ( )

This small book is packed with various "exercises" to do with the accompanying balls - all aimed at relieving pain and relaxing muscles. I've used a number of the exercises for neck and shoulder pain and have found that they are very useful. ( )
