Miracle Ball for Pain

The miracle ball is a non-exercise method of movement for relieving pain. The combination of the body’s weight and gravity works together against a small rubber ball to produce effective results in pain management.

Background

• Movement specialist Elaine Petrone created the miracle ball for pain from her own struggles with chronic pain. The miracle ball for pain method has been a part of a research program at Mount Vernon Hospital in New York.

Pain

• Daily stress is translated into chronic pain most commonly experienced in the neck and shoulders, lower back and hip joints. The miracle ball is used to release the stress held in these and other areas in the body. As stress is released, so is pain.

The Method

• The miracle ball method for pain relief is a series of gentle movements of the body over a small, rubber ball. The body’s weight against the ball serves to release stress and maximize movement.

Movement

• The miracle ball exercises are simple, gentle movements of the body over the ball. Subtle movements reduce muscular tension.

Theory

• In many exercise programs, people move the body incorrectly which results in long term pain deeply held in the muscles. Miracle ball movements are designed to connect the brain with the correct way to move your body. When we recognize the natural and correct alignment of the body in all movement we become pain free.
