What is a Stress Ball?

A stress ball is what its name would suggest, a spherical malleable toy that you can squeeze in your hand. It has many uses and benefits, helping to relieve stress as it manipulates the fingers and acts as a form of exercise. These stress balls are made in various shapes and sizes to suit the individual’s needs. One can even purchase a custom stress ball that is designed to their particular needs. These stress balls even come in different themes and can be based off the individual’s desires.

The Benefits

The benefits to a stress ball are great. People just need to get past the idea of this being a silly toy and accept that it is something that will help them, with not only managing their stress, but also improving their health.

Stress causes a great deal of physical tension. Using a stress ball helps to reduce this tension from the body, ensuring that your muscles and other body parts are benefited by the action. The reflexology theory has proven that vital organs are strengthened by using this technique, as the various organs in the body gain relaxation and strength through the effective function of energy pathways. The use of the ball will enhance blood circulation throughout various parts of the body.

Stress can also cause sleep deprivation, the use of the stress ball will help to promote sleep as it relaxes the body. Regular use of a stress ball will help you to find clarity of the mind, as your focus is directed towards the act of squeezing the ball which then relaxes the mind and diverts it from stressful activities. You will soon notice and increase in concentration and improvements in your mental strength. There is a reduction in mental tension with the use of the ball, as your attention remains on the ball and you begin to forget other pressures.
