I think I saw some that came with an instructional DVD but I've learned all I know from my trainer, who's been taking workshops on using them.
The other is these things called foot wakers. They were developed by this yoga teacher named Yamuna and the theory is that the balance of your foot muscles affect the rest of your legs and body. I pronate and I've found they really take care of any muscle aches that develop in my foot, from running or wearing backless sandals and so forth.

OK, I even went to the site, but it just says it includes a booklet with exercises, so my question remains -- what kinds of things do you do with them??
