   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.
