抗力球早期运用于运动健身及物理治疗,1980年在美国被应用于产科中,称之为生产球(Birth ball)。
孕妇的瑜伽练习使用抗力球,可以在玩乐的氛围下,达到轻松伸展、增加内核力量与体能、稳定重心、提升平衡能力的功效。此外,提前培养对抗力球的熟悉度,方便在待产期间运用抗力球,缓解疼痛、保持自然韵律呼吸,避免产程延长。产后不仅可以运用它做恢复体能与曲线的锻炼,也可以用来作为安抚宝宝的工具。

Prenatal Yoga with a Birth Ball
Originally used in fitness and physical therapy, the exercise ball was introduced into obstetrics in the 1980s in the United States, where it became known as the birth ball.
In prenatal yoga, using the birth ball allows pregnant women to stretch and move more freely in a fun and playful way, while also helping to:
Gently open and release the body
Improve core strength and overall stamina
Enhance balance and stability
Familiarity with the birth ball during pregnancy also prepares mothers for labor, where it can be a powerful tool to ease pain, support natural rhythmic breathing, and potentially shorten the duration of labor.
After birth, the ball can continue to be used for postpartum recovery—restoring physical strength and core tone—and even as a gentle aid for soothing and rocking your baby.
Recommended for:
Expecting mothers with at least three prior prenatal yoga sessions.
