(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 09, 2015 ) Chattanooga, TN -- Santulana would like to share the various benefits of using a Swiss ball on a regular basis. The stability ball was first used by Dr. Susanne Klein-Vogelbach in her physiotherapy clinic in Basel, Switzerland in the early 1980's, to help with the rehabilitation of people with orthopedic problems. American physiotherapists heard of Dr. Klein-Vogelbach's work and developed the use of the stability ball further.
Today stability balls are used in gyms and homes around the world promoting core strength, improved balance and increased muscle tone. They are used during and after pregnancy and even during labor, making Mom-to-be feel more comfortable.
Core muscles include the abdominals, the diaphragm, the lower back muscles and the muscles around the pelvis. A strong core improves posture, balance and back health and helps in simple everyday tasks such as bending down or sweeping the floor. A strong core also helps prevent sporting injuries and keeps people agile and flexible well into old age.
By its very nature the exercise ball is unstable, making its user constantly readjust their position in order to maintain balance. These movements train the muscles to be at the ready, enabling the user to react quickly in a situation. Strong core muscles help prevent a sprained ankle or a twisted knee. They also help prevent the elderly from falling and breaking brittle bones.
When choosing an exercise ball such as the Santulana Exercise Ball, sit on it, ensuring that the knees are at 90° to the floor. It is always wise to consult a doctor before embarking on a new exercise regime.
