The Elaine Petrone Method - Stop the Clock. DVD & Ball

I've had regular problems with my neck since an accident in 1991. Usually when it goes out of kilter, I make an appointment to see a chiropractor. I felt my neck do it's out-of-whack thing two weeks ago but was so busy with life events and work that I couldn't get to my chiropractor. I was having tightness and couldn't turn my head very far to the right.Received the Stop the Clock, DVD & Ball package on Saturday, (10/30/10), and followed it through the program. I was absolutely Amazed! I felt about 80% better and had more ease of movement in my neck. The next morning I thought I'll go through it again. Before I even started the DVD, I laid down on the floor and just turned my neck to the right and it moved all the way. Even after the session of the day before, my body was continuing to realign because of the steps of Elaine's method.I highly recommend her product to anyone needing some therapy and relief from tension or pain in the neck and shoulders.

The DVD condition is great, the contents are good, not great. The used price was right and the seller was fantastic.

I have had 4 back surgeries and 12 different physical therapists. I agree that if you are not diligent you will not get the benefits intended from this. I can say that even not diligent it has helped me with acute pain. The dvd is not produced well but the information is worth sifting through. You determine what you want from the program from what you put in. There is no easy cure. It requires 1 hour a day to really improve. However there is much less sweat than a work out program for the same amount of time. Even not putting in the hours I have found temporary relief using it.

This DVD is apparently much like the last one Ms. Petrone put out, so I encourage you to read those reviews since there are not many on this product yet. I bought the Miracle Ball book last year and while I found that the method does seem to give results, I never could bring myself to do it enough to make a difference. I thought, if only there was a DVD where Elaine goes through each of the movements illustrated in the book and repeats them as the books says, then I could do them with her and would use the DVD quite often. Because the description lists all the problems her method can alleviate, you would think this is what the DVD would provide.But no, Elaine talks about how she developed her method, and uses two people to show how she works with patients I guess. Since I don't live anywhere near her, this is not very useful to me. She spends a lot of time on the breathing, which is great for the first time, but after that is pretty pointless. She goes through several repetitions of 'elbow on the ball', does one 'ball on the neck' and one 'ball under the back' and that's it. That's all you get. There isn't even a book included listing all the other positions, so if you don't own the book already, the DVD is pretty much useless. I suppose it was a little helpful to do the one exercise and see how she focuses on breathing, but the book is pretty good about telling you that as well. All in all, I have another rubber ball for my $19.99 and will probably never watch this DVD again. If I could I would return it as the product is NOT what I expected considering the description, and really is not useful for anyone who actually wants to use this method since it doesn't really show it to you. Basically, it is a rip-off and I'm doubtful I will buy anything else by Elaine Petrone now, whether her method is excellent or not. If you are fastidious and can make yourself do the exercises, I would recommend getting the book and the two little balls, which Amazon carries for under $13.

I was disappointed that this had a larger size ball than the other one I ordered. I find it not as effective and don't use it. The set with the smaller balls I recommend highly. I don't know why this one had a larger ball included.The technique really works like a miracle and cuts out the need to go to a chiro. It is relaxing and relieves pain, stiffness and a bunch of other maladies.I highly recommend this with the smaller size balls.

I love this system and it has worked wonders for me.Stop The Clock has this statement on the box, " This program addresses pain and tension in the shoulders, neck and head. For pain in the lower back and hips look for the THE ELAINE PETRONE METHOD kit."That's a crazy important detail that should be emphasized in the sales description. For me it didn't matter because I had her Miracle Ball kit already. That kit has 2 balls, each a little smaller than the one ball in this kit.

I bought this product because I'm not able to do yoga anymore due to a knee injury. This product allows me to feel the elongation, stretching & relation that equal my result from yoga without putting weight on my knee. I use this product everyday along with The Miracle Ball Method.

I was led to believe that buying both The Elaine Petrone Method and Stop the Clock was what most people do. It is totally unnecessary to buy both. Both DVDs are basically the same, and even have the same people in them. Besides that, there should be some sort of routine included that you can do without having to go back and listen to these loonnnng, booorrrriiinnngggg, DVDs. Her method may work, but frankly, I'm too bored to go back and try again. I wish I had used that $40 to buy books instead.

I had ordered this before I went to Barbados this fall. While I was in Barbados there was Hurricane Tomas and I hurt my back by slipping in the bathroom from the water that flooded in during the night.I used this workout again when I got home and within 3 days, the horrible pain I had in my back and hips was gone. I have already had back surgery from a herniated disc and was so thrilled something so simple could help.  Petrone;Elaine Method Stop the It is so simple to use, you are a skeptic, but I know what worked for me and this works. Petrone;Elaine Method Stop the

Helps out any back problems I encounter from a heavy, physical job. Each morning before work I roll out my back and do some "Praise Moves" (directed by Laurette Willis) stretching exercises and am good for the day both physically and spiritually.

did not receive the package that was promised.one ball instead of twoone instruction cd but no music cd

This program is outstanding for helping with upper back, neck and shoulder pain. However, it is so simple it feels like you are not doing anything...and sometimes can be difficult to remember to do it. Keep at it, though, and results are great.

This Item saved me a lot of money.
