Sydney Physio Clinic Stocks the 9cm diameter Spiky Ball in a variety of colours.
Our physio team prescribe the use of spiky ball self rehab techniques on a daily basis. We find them amazing for releasing the upper back, tight glutes, back of the shoulder, arch of the foot and more… Forewarning a spiky ball is firm, so not for individuals who don’t tolerate hard pressure on their tissues. In these situations we often recommend using a kids tennis ball, which a a compressed foam. And therefore more likely it is going to be tolerable experience. In many situations we find our patients can build up from softer, to firmer spiky ball pressure given time, as tissues adapt to receiving firm pressure.
