Swiss Ball |
Chiropractor Cranston RI
For patients interested in strengthening their core, improving stability, and supporting spinal health, a Swiss ball can be a great option to consider for home exercises. Often called an exercise or stability ball, it engages your core muscles during movements like sit-ups or planks, which can help enhance posture and reduce spinal strain over time. I recommend it as a tool to complement the care we provide at the Chiropractic Health Institute, especially for those looking to build a stronger foundation.
Standard Size (65 cm)
This is the most common size for general use and works well for core exercises like sit-ups, stretches, or balance work. If you’re around average height (5’4” to 5’10”) and want a versatile option to start with, this one’s a solid choice:
Smaller Size (55 cm) or Larger Size (75 cm)
If you’re shorter (under 5’4”) or taller (over 5’10”), or have specific preferences, adjusting the size might feel better. The 55 cm ball is ideal for smaller frames or more controlled exercises, while the 75 cm option offers extra stability for taller individuals or broader movements:
A Swiss ball can be a practical addition to your routine if you’re looking to support your spine and core strength. I don’t sell these or profit from recommending them—it’s just something I’ve seen benefit patients over the years. If you’re thinking about getting one and want tips on sizing or safe exercises, feel free to ask at your next appointment, and we can discuss what might work best for you.
