The Gymnic Physio Roll Peanut Ball has a unique double-ball shaped design that makes it easier to use than a traditional gym ball. Shaped like a peanut, the Physio Roll Peanut ball is easier to balance on as it's movement is limited mostly to forward and back motions, with minimal side to side movement. This provides more control and greater stability during exercise, physiotherapy or rehabilitation exercises.
The Peanut Ball's wide saddle shape and controlled movement means that it is able to be used by people of all ages and abilities. It is ideal for those with balance and coordination difficulties, physical limitations and special needs. It is also a great physio rehabilitation tool for the elderly.
The Peanut Ball can be used with your physiotherapist, or a recreational exercise activity in the comfort of your own home without assistance.
The Peanut Ball is a perfect exercise tool for children and adults who struggle with:
- Balance (vestibular input)
- Developmental delays
- Gross motor skills
- Low muscle tone
- Sensory seeking behaviours
The Peanut Ball comes in 4 different sizes:
- 30cm diameter x 50 cm long (blue) - Gymnic Physio Roll
- 40 cm diameter x 80 cm long (blue with pump included: please note this size is the Elizabeth Richards brand)
- 70cm diameter x 115cm long (blue) Gymnic Physio Roll
- 85cm diameter x 130cm long (Red) Gymnic Physio Roll
It has a recommended maximum weight of 120kg, with a tested load capacity of 300kg.
The Physio Roll comes with a one year manufacturer warranty.
The Physio Roll is made with latex and phthalate-free PVC.
Please note, the 30cm and 70cm size do not come with a pump. Please add the faster blaster pump to your order if required.
What size Peanut Ball should I buy?
The sizes you require are determined by the goals and exercises you want to achieve. A simple solution has recently come from Europe (where therapy ball use was invented). Studies have shown that the distance from shoulder tip to finger tip equals the Physio Roll diameter required for that person. When seated on a Physio Roll, hips, knees, and ankles should be flexed to 90°. No matter what size Physio Roll you elect to use, it is important that, when on top, the user’s centre of gravity remains in the middle of a ball end or centered in the concave saddle.
Please note: The Physio Roll is delivered deflated in a box and requires inflation with a pump. Please ensure you use the correct pump to inflate the ball as advised above. If you use the incorrect pump, it may not generate enough pressure to inflate the ball to its maximum diameter. The pump is not included, but a suitable hand pump can be added to your cart as an additional option.
As with any inflatable, this ball should not be used on any surface containing sharp, pointed objects due to the risk of puncture and bursts.
