I had a frustrating experience
with shoulder pain that no one I went to seemed to be able to pin point.
The really frustrating part was that I could feel exactly where the problem
was, but couldn’t reach it with my fingers to treat it. In desperation
I started lying on and prodding myself with all kinds of different objects
in an attempt to ‘get into’ the spot I needed to release.
Eventually, I tried a ball I had lying around and found that it did indeed
work –lying on the ball eased my shoulder pain. I completely forgot
about the entire incident until about six months later when a patient, who
was going on a business trip, asked me to fix his problem quickly. After
examining him and realizing that he had too much tightness for me to release
in the short time before he left, I remembered the ball I’d used and
told him to try it out. He returned a week later and to my surprise, he
had managed to work down a significant portion of his muscle tightness with
twenty minutes of ‘ball work’ a day.
I started trying the technique with other patients and was impressed with
how well it worked. Within a year I had expanded the practice so that almost
every patient I saw was using it. Over time however, it became apparent
that there were a lot of limitations to the effectiveness of the procedure
due to the size and shape of the ball I had been using.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential healing benefits a properly
designed product would have. I literally tossed and turned many nights away
considering everything that would need to go into a project of this magnitude.
Then, one January morning on a roof-top in Morocco, I made the decision
to try and create the perfect ‘self-treatment ball.’ Thus started
the long, many times frustrating, road of endlessly researching, experimenting,
designing, testing and redesigning the different prototype materials, sizes
and configurations of the Acuball. Various balls of different shapes and
sizes began a non-stop parade through my office.
Working with a dedicated team of designers and engineers, and of course
my wonderful patients whose feedback proved indispensable, my home and office
were soon filled with ‘weird balls’ (as my friends used to say),
and I had a second full time job as a product developer.
The Acuball you now own is the end result of those many years of laboratory
and clinical research and testing.
My goal when I set out was to create a new generation of self-healing tool
that was totally safe, easy to use and effective. Please note that your
Acuball is hypoallergenic and completely non-toxic should your child
or dog ever get a hold of it!
I wanted to make a tool that really ‘got into’ the tight spots
and worked them open. Too many other muscle and pain relief products work
by covering up the signals your body sends you from these tight spots with
another sensation, like electrical currents or cooling gels. These may decrease
the pain, but often don’t get to the ‘root’ of the problem
at all.
The Acuball doesn’t just cover up muscle and joint pain, it gets right
into tight spots and, in combination with your mind’s focus and breath
work, begins the releasing process necessary to help tight congested areas
‘open’ and heal as much as possible.
The Acuball works in unison with the natural healing
powers of your body.
When people start using the Acuball they are amazed by how many tight, congested
spots they have that they never realized were there. The same thing will
happen to you: you’ll feel areas that you didn’t even know were
tight. Acuballing will tune you into the real story of what’s going
on in your body.
This is important because it enables you to work on existing chronic areas
that you already know about, as well as tight spots you weren’t even
aware of, which if left untreated could develop into problem areas further
down the road. Acuballing is like holding up a mirror to your body allowing
you to see where tight, congested areas are.
Use your Acuball to complement & enhance any professional muscle &
joint care you receive. Ask your therapist which areas you would get the
most benefit from Acuballing and combine their answers with your own
explorations to design a self-treatment program that’s right for you.
Acuball Anywhere Anytime
One of the great things about the Acuball is how versatile it is.
Because it’s light and portable you can put it in your purse or travel
bag and take it anywhere you need it- home, office, plane, gym, hiking trip,
anywhere.
You can literally use it anytime and anywhere you like. For a great start
to your day, try Acuballing from the bottom of your spine up to the base
of your neck for 15 minutes. After a heavy day, try Acuballing your neck
in bed for a wonderful de-stressing relaxer. Whether it’s one in the
afternoon or one in the morning, the Acuball ‘office’ is always
open. No waiting rooms or parking lots to deal with either.
