Therapy balls are versatile tools in pediatric therapy. They can be used in a variety of ways, including:
Balance Training: Children can sit, lie, or stand on the balls to improve their balance and stability. Coordination Exercises: Activities such as rolling or tossing the ball help enhance hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Core Strengthening: Exercises like sit-ups or planks performed on the ball engage the core muscles more effectively. Sensory Integration: The tactile and proprioceptive input from the ball can benefit children with sensory processing disorders. Postural Control: Sitting on therapy balls can promote better posture and alignment.
