StrongPosture BallStretch: Posture balls are big inflatable balls chiropractors, physical therapists and posture exercise professionals use to strengthen balance, posture and motion. Have someone spot you the first time you sit on a postureball until you feel comfortable and balanced. The Ballstretch is the anti-stretch for siting, and helps unbends hunched over posture caused by heavy backpacks.
Sitting on the ball, slowly walk forward and roll down on the ball until your head touches the ball. Then walk backwards so your spine curves and lengthens over the ball.
When you feel comfortable, try and reach your arms overhead. It is important to move slowly and with control. Relax and stretch for 5 slow breaths.
Choosing the proper ball for your body type is important. For tips on choosing the size that’s right for you and for more exercises, and other helpful information visit the Posture Exercise section.
