Review: This is your self-maintenance reference manual! :) - In May 2009 I had the privilege of travelling to Santa Monica to train in person with Jill Miller for an entire week. Jill is an amazing woman with a fire and passion to help others that you don’t often see. During the training she introduced the students present to the Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls. Back then Jill was in the early days of experimenting and developing ways of using them. Fast forward 5 years, much hard work, exploration and discovery, and she has gifted us with an amazing self-care, self-maintenance manual, “The Roll Model”. The premise of this book is simple: All human beings should be able to perform necessary maintenance on themselves. This book will teach you *how* to perform that self-maintenance. Self-maintenance is possible when you learn how to unlock and release tissues in your body that have become “sticky” or “glued down” leading to pain or reduced range of motion; when you learn what correct posture looks like and how to acquire it; when you learn how to breathe fully, easily and comfortably; and when you learn how to “down regulate” or “reset” your autonomic nervous system, shifting it from “flight or fight” mode to “resting, digesting, and repairing” mode. This book covers all of this and much more. At the heart of the book are many detailed, beautifully photographed sequences showing exactly where and how to place the YTU Balls on your body to release tightness and strain. There is a chapter that teaches you how to create optimal posture. There is a chapter that teaches you how to breathe correctly and a chapter on how to down regulate your stressed nervous system. In addition this book will teach you through your own tactile exploration how to embody your own anatomy. What is happening beneath your skin? How are you put together? Through working with “The Roll Model” you will discover all this and much more. It is a kinesthetic introduction to the place where you live: your own body! This is an amazingly thorough book packed with information that will expand your understanding of your body on so many levels. Jill has incredible breadth and depth of knowledge and it is all here for you to help you. She is also an excellent writer for this book is never dry or boring. It is fun, playful, and as mentally engaging as it is physically transforming. You have so much to gain from reading and working with this book and the YTU Therapy Balls ... and so much discomfort and pain to lose! I can confidently say, *this* is the bible of self-care and self-maintenance! I have been self-employed as a massage therapist / bodyworker since 1996, and a yoga teacher since 2006. I use the YTU Balls with my clients as self-care tools and with my students to help them roll away their aches, pains and discomforts. PLUS I use the balls myself on a daily basis as a part of my own self-care, self-maintenance practice. I believe in the use of the YTU Balls because they work. They simply work. Be kind to yourself - learn how to take care of your body so you can enjoy your life more fully. Learn how to perform necessary self-maintenance so that the next time you wake with a sore or stiff neck you know how to fix it, or the next time your back aches you know how to find relief, or the next time your arm throbs from too much typing you know how to undo tightness. Put this book and a set of the YTU Balls in your shopping cart and get ready to transform your life! :) Review: Stop Being a Slave to Pain - Grab Life by the Balls! - Are you a slave to pain? Are you afraid that this current diagnosis is permanent? Whether you’re in chronic pain, have a recurring injury, or regularly require pain medications to get through the day – there is a solution. The key, believe it or not, is as simple as picking up a copy of The Roll Model by Jill Miller. I am proud to call Jill my mentor, teacher, and friend – and you can easily appreciate the more than 16 months she spent writing The Roll Model as you flip through 432 pages that are filled with the science of the body, it’s structures, and how to erase your pain in easy to follow steps with beautiful illustrations and pictures. Yep, that’s right – you are a self-healing organism and already have the tools needed to HEAL your body fully and completely. Regardless of how long you have been in your current state, with some understanding of how the breath and body intermingle, you can improve the overall state of your body. From the way you stand, to how you move, to how you sleep, you will learn everything you need to know to rebuild your body in these pages. Jill has boiled down what you need to know about fascia, soft tissues, breath mechanics, and my personal favorite – self-massage with Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls. My life was changed forever when I met Jill and began to learn about self-care and soothing my tissues and nervous system with my breath and therapy balls. I have since spent years learning all I can about the body, fascia, and pain physiology in trainings, books, and hands on studies. I have become a student of my body, but the process was not quick and easy. Man, how I wish this book was out 3 years ago! Instead of learning it my way – grab a copy of The Roll Model, read it for yourself, and begin your own process of discovery and healing. The book sums up what I have spent years studying with descriptions that are so clear, anyone can understand them. From reading The Roll Model, I am able to finally grasp complicated biomechanical concepts that my university professors could never make sense of. The Roll Model goes above and beyond any book or DVD out there – instead of following choreography, you will learn how to take the next steps to rehabilitate your body – without doctors, surgery, or pain pills. Don’t’ believe me? You simply need to read the Roll Model Success stories within these pages of people who have used the method to recover from botched surgeries, soothe debilitating anxiety, and recover from intense physical and emotional abuse to know that this stuff WORKS. For those who are experienced at movement mechanics and myofascial self-care, The Roll Model does not disappoint. I have learned new techniques with the therapy balls that are so creative and out of the box, I don’t think I would have ever come up with them on my own! I have also learned additional ways to describe the body to my clients that will be easier for them to digest. Pain is an epidemic – we all know someone who is currently suffering from chronic pain or perhaps you are the one currently battling chronic pain. But I promise you; there is something you can do to change the outcome and trajectory of your life. All it takes is 5 minutes a day and a pair of balls… ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #76,011 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #65 in Pain Management (Books) #83 in Exercise Injuries & Rehabilitation #84 in Stretching Exercise & Fitness | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 925 Reviews | ## Images ![The Roll Model: A Step-by-Step Guide to Erase Pain, Improve Mobility, and Live Better in Your Body - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VSlaGLTSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is your self-maintenance reference manual! :) *by D***N on November 16, 2014* In May 2009 I had the privilege of travelling to Santa Monica to train in person with Jill Miller for an entire week.

All it takes is 5 minutes a day and a pair of balls… ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Cannot Believe I Feel so Energized and Pain-Free at 67 Years Old! *by A***N on April 8, 2019* By the age of 50, I carried constant, unremitting pain in my body; tension headaches, nerve pain in my face from Tri-Geminal Neuralgia, a frozen shoulder that never seemed to heal, hip and low back pain from unevenness caused by scoliosis. Working for more than 20 years as an English professor and raising two kids on my own, had taken its toll. My body was a wreck both from the stress of life and my sedentary lifestyle. Even though I went to the gym at least 5 days a week, I now know that one hour of movement a day cannot undo the impact of stress and sitting for much of the rest of that time. I was looking for solutions and yoga was my first one. It did help, but my shoulder still froze up on a regular basis and my back always hurt and I still couldn’t sleep. I first discovered the Roll Model Method in a yoga class. My teacher, Steve, brought in a pair of those toted blue balls and had us do a forward fold and then roll them under each foot. We then repeated the forward fold and I was astounded at how much further I could bend forward, but more important, how good it felt. He sheepishly looked as us (I had never seen this look on his face), and said, “I’m kinda behind the eight ball here. These balls really do something yoga can’t.) I heard him and went right out and bought the Roll Model Book by Jill Miller. I started rolling immediately. I didn’t read much because I was so hungry for relief. I looked at the very clear pictures and sometimes read the directions if I needed clarification. I started with the biggest challenges: my low back, my right shoulder, and my neck for the tension headaches. I rolled in the morning and I rolled in the evenings. My kids laughed at me, but I just smiled. I had discovered something completely new that had the most astounding effect on my body, on my stress level, and on my pain. I was never afraid of exercise and I excelled at yoga, but neither of these activities could move the needle on my pain and the stress I felt day and night. Then, as the pain started to diminish and my mobility started to increase, I began to read the actual text of the book and I learned so, so much about the science of movement, the presence of fascia (a sort of moist, internal sweater that weaves throughout our organs, ligaments, and muscles), and about what happens when fascia doesn’t move. I felt empowered by this “body bible” that helped me to understand and to correct all that had gone wrong since I stopped playing as a kid. Now, at 67, I can do things I had not been able to do in decades: I can lift and carry my young grandchildren. I can travel with luggage and not take my back out. I can put my carry-on suitcase in the overhead bin. I can put my groceries in the car – no curbside help, thank you! I can walk on long hikes without my back or feet hurting. And, if some part of my body does start to talk to me, I nip that pain in the bud by getting on the balls and feeling that rolling energy start to unwind whatever has tightened up again. I highly recommend this book and the Roll Model Method to you if you are eager to take back your physical life. I am astonished about what I have been able to do in my life and look forward to, now that I am not weakened by sitting too much and the pain that it caused. And, this method is so empowering because I have learned from the Roll Model book and from rolling on the balls exactly what I need to do for myself. ## Frequently Bought Together - Roll Model: A Step-by-Step Guide to Erase Pain, Improve Mobility, and Live Better in Your Bo dy - Tune Up Fitness – Coregeous Ball | Psoas Release Tool, Abdominal, Belly & Lower Back Release | Core Ball, Exercise Ball for Low Back, Stress & Digestive Relief, Improved Breathing & Sleep (Iris) - Tune Up Fitness – Therapy Ball PLUS Pair in Tote | Lacrosse Ball Upgrade - Massage Therapy Balls for Myofascial Release | Neck, Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Shoulder Tension Relief, Physical Therapy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/7958200-the-roll-model-a-step-by-step-guide-to-erase](https://www.desertcart.at/products/7958200-the-roll-model-a-step-by-step-guide-to-erase) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
