About Cando® inflatable balls
Super-Duty Cando® balls are used to improve balance, coordina-
tion, flexibility, strength and even just for fun. Balls are used by pe-
diatric and NDT therapists as an aid for vestibular movement and
equilibrium therapy, by fitness professionals as an aid for stretching
and strength programs, as seats, and even by pregnant women in
birthing classes. The Cando® balls have a non-slip surface that is
ribbed for extra security. The balls may be "under" inflated to give a
soft, mushy feel or fully inflated for a firm, bouncy feel. See sizing
chart (below) to choose proper size ball. Balls can support up to 600
pounds (275kg).
Precautions
1. Consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting any
rehabilitation or exercise program.
2. Perform exercises in a slow, controlled motion, in an open area.
3. Maintain proper posture throughout exercise session.
4. Exercise away from sharp objects that might puncture the ball or
cause you injury. Remove sharp objects (i.e. rings) before you
begin using your ball.
