The rehabilitation of injuries has changed significantly in the last decade. Many clinicians, physicians, physical therapists, and other medical professionals have been effectively addressing a patient’s physical impairments and functional limitations by developing new treatment and rehabilitation plans designed to enable patients to return to normal life as quickly and safely as possible. Exercise, therapy, and medicine ball therapy and tools have become critical in achieving this goal.
How are Medicine Balls and Therapy Balls Utilized?
The use of medicine balls and other therapy ball equipment has become a logical cross-over from sports training and has found wide usage in other injury arenas. These tools have become extensively used in effectively treating and rehabilitating lower back, knee, shoulder, and other spinal injuries. The exercise balls provide clinicians and therapists a low-cost tool, as well as a portable therapy option, in a variety of weights and sizes, depending on the user’s needs and physical capability level.
Exercises involving the use of therapy and medicine balls have become incorporated into treatment plans at the early stage of the rehabilitation process, and follow through to the final phases of recovery, with some adjustments along the way. Many clients will frequently purchase a few balls as part of their home exercise training program and use it to transition to an independent program.
The Importance of Ball Storage Racks
Many different types of storage racks have been manufactured to enable safe and convenient storage, while ensuring durability and use of the equipment for the long term. Like medicine and therapy balls, storage racks are available in all shapes and sizes. Some racks have multiple tiers that hold several different sizes of medicine balls, while other racks are designed to be mounted on a wall to save extra floor space, and keep the equipment safely out of the way when not in use.
No matter what the style, these racks are designed with safety, convenience, and sturdiness in mind, while making sure that your space is kept organized, efficient, and professional in appearance.
