DVD Reviews of The Elaine Petrone Method: Stop the Back Pain
DVD Review: It Works
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
DVD Review: Disappointed in Video
Summary: 2 Stars
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.DVD Review: Infuriatingly incomplete
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Description of The Elaine Petrone Method: Stop the Back Pain
Proven relief from low backache
Previously released as The Elaine Petrone Method
Elaine Knows Pain
As a young dancer, Elaine suffered a debilitating injury that led her to develop the Elaine Petrone Method. It healed her injury, alleviated her pain, and changed her life. For over 30 years, she has been teaching individuals, doctors, and therapists how to do the same.
Revolutionary in its simplicity, Elaine's method of pain relief "unworks" excess muscle tension using breath awareness and your own body weight while resting comfortably on a ball or balls. On this program, she will teach you how to use her method to alleviate the all-too-common problem of low backache. After learning her method, many of Elaine's students find relief from stubborn back pain for the first time. Now you can, too.
Whether your pain comes from injury, improper body alignment, arthritis, or just the stress of everyday life, get on the ball and get relief!
This program addresses pain and tension in the lower back and hips. For pain in the shoulders, neck, and head look for Elaine's STOP THE CLOCK kit.
