Heavymed Balls

I recently had some physical therapy visits to strengthen my core muscles with the goal of improving my lower back. The therapist had this ball and I used it in my therapy. Once done, I bought this one to use at home and it is just the same as the one physical therapists use. Keep in mind this ball is 3,000 grams which is about 6 1/2 pounds. There’s a smaller yellow ball (I think it’s yellow) that’s 2,000 grams and weighs about 4.4 pounds. Pick the one that you feel would be the best for your personal fitness program. These balls are thick rubber filled with sand. Should last forever with proper care.

I used this all the time while rehabbing from shoulder surgery. Works great.

This medicine ball has been perfect for my PT exercises. Good quality and the weight is just right for what I need. Holding up well with regular use. Product matched the description and I'm happy with the purchase. Would recommend for anyone doing physical therapy or similar workouts at home.

Genuine article found at gyms and physical therapy offices. Expensive, but they are way better than everything else out there. Shipping is slow and not Prime. I get it, I don't know where they are shipping from and they are heavy. You can adjust the firmness to you liking by inflating with a standard needle sports ball pump attachment. They should furnish one with the product.

Simply Put: Great for what I needed it for. (Shoulder strengthening + reflex training) -->> Overall = 4/5 Purchased since it was recommended by my Physical Therapist for shoulder/rotator cuff strengthening. Also found it helpful for reflex training. I play dodgeball so to improve strength in throwing without hurting my shoulder/rotator cuff, this 500g ball was suggested to me and I've seen the improvements from being consistent with it. Make sure to work your way up to this 500g ball as it is pretty heavy and therefore taxing on the shoulder so you want to be cautious. Pros: --> Heavy and sturdy. You'll definitely can rely on this bad boy to not break on you or anything. --> Green color matches images and makes it easy to find amongst other exercise supply. --> Fun to toss around and play catch with when you're bored. Cons: --> Textile bumps on the ball actually aren't that great for gripping. They're smoother than they look so note that when trying to do grip/reflex training.

I love this brand of therapy balls - my therapy place had the same brand and the products have long durability. Perfect for various exercises - I even use it when driving.

My contortion teacher recommended this for rolling out tight areas on my body. OMG. It's quite a bit gentler than using a lacrosse ball especially on knotty spots. It feels AMAZING and has made such a difference during my warm ups. I'm also a fan of using it after a long day when my body is tired from moving around constantly. This has been an excellent addition to my small collection of workout tools.

Perfect weight for rehab after surgery.

tout est parfait...merci.

Ist für Ergotherapie sehr nützlich.

Just what I needed

My trainer and I were using this ball (I'm new to this form of training) and when we bounced the ball off the floor it made an awful sound and now it sounds like theres something like glass inside moving around. Obviously not very safe and definitely shouldn't be used in this form. It was ok for moving around my body but not as part of impact training.
