It's been years.... I want to say I had the hand & foot kit. I don't recommend it, if it's still the same thing I bought. You could get the same benefit from rolling your foot on a golf ball (which I keep in the freezer for a nice chilling effect too). My kit arrived with some mistakes -- the balls had some printing errors that made them look faded and already used or just blotchy & paint splattered. I was pretty desperate when I bought the kit, but I found out very quickly it was useless for me. I can't remember how much time it took to use it, but I do remember thinking just about anything rehab-y would be a better use of that time.
In my opinion, their claims are exaggerated. There was no way rolling my hand on a marble-sized ball or rolling my foot on a golf ball sized ball was going to cure headaches and back pain, digestion problems, etc. Maybe it would feel good on your hand & forearm for the moment you did it, but you could rig something else up at home to accomplish the same or even just massage one hand with the other. Back then, there weren't things like Grid rollers, etc. I have their book around here from the library, but I haven't read it yet and can't comment on it. I do like a video they have on low back pain, if you use a rolled up yoga mat (which is softer and shorter than a foam roller, better on that sacrum in my opinion, though I haven't tried the soft roller you bought). By the way, Gaiam has a much cheaper hand kit. http://www.amazon.com/Gaiam-Hand-The...elt+method+kid HTH
