Physioworx Anti‑Burst Pregnancy Ball + Pump – Ideal for Prenatal Fitness & Labour

Discover the Physioworx Pregnancy Ball. This is a strong, anti-burst exercise ball. It is made to support you during pregnancy, labour, and after. 

This strong gym ball comes with a simple pump. It can help you become more flexible. It can also reduce discomfort. Additionally, it prepares you for giving birth, whether at home or in a clinic.

Why Choose a Pregnancy Ball?

During pregnancy, maintaining balance, relieving lower back tension, and strengthening your core are essential. Sitting and moving on a pregnancy ball engages these muscles gently, helping realign your pelvis and improve posture.

These gentle movements can help the baby get into the best position for labour. They also provide comfort during contractions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Anti-Burst Durability: This ball is made from strong PVC. It can hold up to 250 kg. If it gets punctured, it will deflate slowly. This feature ensures safety and gives you peace of mind.
• Prenatal & Postnatal Use: Supports gentle core toning, pelvic floor engagement, and stretching—vital before, during, and after pregnancy.
• Complete with Pump: Includes a handy pump for fast inflation, so you can get started straight away.
• Multi-Use Accessory: Great for yoga, physiotherapy, sensory play, and general fitness. It is a versatile part of your wellness routine.

Effective Exercises for Pregnancy

Here are gentle ways to use your pregnancy ball safely and effectively:

• Pelvic Rocking: Sit with feet flat on the floor, tilt your pelvis forwards and back to hydrate joints and reduce lower back pain.
• Hip Circles: Sit upright and gently rotate your hips in circles—excellent for pelvic opening and preparing for labour.
• Wall Squats: Place the ball between your lower back and the wall. As you sit and stand, your legs and glutes engage while support is maintained.
• Forward Stretch: Kneel and lean forward over the ball, arms draped. This eases back tension and hydrates the thoracic region.
• Seated Bouncing: A gentle bounce can promote pelvic rhythm and comfort in late pregnancy.

Safety Guidelines

• Non‑Slip Surface: Use on carpet or a yoga mat to prevent slipping.
• Steady Inflation: Inflate firmly but leave a little give. Overinflation can make the ball too tight and unsafe.
• Check Regularly: Inspect the ball for damage, tears or grooves and avoid contact with sharp objects.
• Slow Progression: Start with basic movements and gradually increase intensity. Always stop if unsure or uncomfortable.
• Stay Hydrated: Keep fluids nearby during exercise sessions.

Using the Pump

Inflation is straightforward:

1. Attach the needle nozzle to the pump and insert it into the ball valve.
2. Pump until the ball feels firm, then remove the needle and seal the valve.
3. Inflation times vary – a hand pump typically takes 2–4 minutes.
