Swiss balls are used in practically every rehab facility and gym around the country. Here’s am interesting fact almost NO ONE mentions: you get increased “core” muscle activation, but also up to double the spine load. What’s this mean? Well, for starters if you’re rehabbing a bad back don’t use the balls without supervision that understands low back pain. Also, the balls can have a place in your routine, but should NOT be your routine; remember, you need to train standing balance and postural awareness with movement patterns, not “core” muscles in isolation with a ball!
