Whether you call them gym balls, pregnancy balls or exercise balls, there’s no doubting that a Swiss ball can be a useful prop when you’re expecting.
“Regular movement in pregnancy is really important, and Swiss balls are a great mobility tool,” says Michelle Norton-Hughes, a physiotherapist specialising in women’s health and the founder of FlyMama. Key benefits include helping to maintain core strength, alleviating backache and relieving pressure on your pelvis.
