The 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 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 as 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
- 40 cm diameter x 80 cm long (blue with pump included: please note this size is the Elizabeth Richards brand)
It has a recommended maximum weight of 120kg.
