Vilim ball or Viraball for tremors

[TracyLaine]

Has anyone had any new experiences with the vilim ball or the viraball (to help with tremors)?

[Muay]

Bought and tried the Vilim Ball. Didn't do a thing or improved anything. Don't waste your money.

Thank you so so much for your response! It is an expensive item, so I’m glad to hear your opinion on it! I think I will pass on it and wait for the Tass gloves to come out—hopefully sooner rather than later

Hi Tracy, I have the vilim ball. I don’t have hand tremor, I get mild tremor my left foot. Using the ball for short periods doesn’t make much difference for me, if I use it for long periods it helps with my gait, however, I don’t have time for long periods of use so it usually sits in it’s box

Thank you for your response! It seems like it’s too expensive for such a modest effect. I do have a significant left hand tremor, so I’m wondering if other less expensive items might be just as effective as I wait for the Tass gloves to come on the market! ☺️

Yes 😊we are all impatiently waiting for the glove!

I have the viraball and it helps to relieve hand tremors for some hours. Anything that gives a good vibration will do.

Thank you for your response! It’s good to hear that you have relief from the Viraball. Considering it’s significantly less expensive than the Vilim ball, I might give that one a try! I really am simply looking for something that I can do in advance of presentations that will calm my left hand tremor to some degree.

Vilim did nothing for my hand/arm tremors. Sorry, not more positive.

[TracyLaine]

thank you for your response! It’s disappointing to hear, but I appreciate your honest evaluation!

I use the viraball occasionally at it's highest speed on my right hand. My tremors seem to improve, but the effect is only brief. Don't know if more consistent use would help.

thank you for your response! It’s good to know that the viraball does have some impact on your tremors albeit brief.
