Physio-Balls
are readily available from sources in many different countries,
but it is important
that you buy one of physiotherapy quality. Having experimented
with various exercise balls we recommend (and supply) the basic
Gymnic, (red 55 cm, blue
65 cm or yellow 75 cm) made in Italy.
You can
find the correct size by
stretching your arm out in front of you and getting someone
else to measure the distance (L) from the back of your neck
to your fingertips as shown in the diagram below. Find the ball
diameter (Ø) in the table below that corresponds to your
arm measurement.
As a rough guide, an average (167 cm tall) UK
adult female should need a 65 cm ball and an average (175 cm
tall) UK adult male should need a 75 cm ball. If you think you
have made a mistake over the size when you receive your ball
please contact us.
