Using in labour
This ball is versatile and can be used in many different ways during pregnancy and labour:
- Clutching these balls with your hand in labour can stimulate the nerves which helps to release endorphins and lessen the pain of your contractions
- Rolling the balls on your feet to help focus your pain receptors away from the contractions
- Having your birthing partner gently rub around the sacrum providing counterpressure on the lower back during labour
- Using to massage painful or tight muscles during pregnancy - avoiding the stomach and pelvis, reach out to your physiotherapist for tips on where is best for you to use it
Safety reminder - If you are using these balls to soothe or heal a medical/muscle condition please ensure you do so under the guidance of the relevant health professional to get the right tips for you.
