1938385 tn?1332068714 Maybe do a google search on this one? I still sit on mine a lot, not an official exercise but stabilizing yourself on your ball is still good for your core. Easier on my back than chairs too.
Avatar m tn When I was weak I used to lie on one of the large pilates balls to half support my weight, then I got rid of the ball and just spent as much time as I could putting weight on my arm. I can recommend also a very good book by Tom Balchin from Amazon with a lot of exercises.
Avatar f tn You can Bounce and sway on exercise ball.
1415174 tn?1453243103 But, I also noticed that when I press on the pec muscle that it takes the pain away. so is this being caused by the tight pec muscle? I can still work out and it doesn't seem to bother my back any. Resting and working out don't make it better or worse. It doesn't feel like a pinched nerve.
Avatar f tn can anyone suggest some simple daily exercises without a workout ball that I could do to help relieve some of these aches and pains?!
Avatar f tn Bounce on an exercise ball. I would sit on it while watching tv instead of the couch. I really think it helped.
Avatar f tn I know all the ways to induce labor just looking for ways to go ahead and start dilating and soften my cervix plus strengthen my legs for pushing time lol!!
Avatar f tn I found some low impact exercises for people with arthritis here a week or so ago but can't find it now of course. Since I am very out of shape and have arthritis that can't handle the jarring impact on my joints, I have started with just doing stretching (very slowly) and have tried to walk more. There is an exercise link on the right to get rid of the belly but I wouldn't be able to get off the floor or sit on the ball.
Avatar f tn I do Shannon Dougherty prenatal work out series. It's on the All Fitness app on my roku, free. Might be on you tube. It's great!!
1040373 tn?1273687488 Yes, I have weak arms and hands. I haven't done anything specifically for my hands - was doing work with weights on the stability ball for total body strength - only 3-5 lb weights. I have to get back to it!
Avatar f tn s meant to help get baby in position and hopefully speed things up abit. Well anyway im just wondering is it safe to start using the birthing ball of im only 34 weeks? Has anyone used it and it's brought on labour?
Avatar f tn Hold the dumbbells and do biceps curls, triceps extensions and side raises to work the arms and shoulders. Hold the weights at your sides as you do lunges and squats. Use the exercise ball to do crunches for your abs, planks for your core and shoulder bridge exercises to work your butt and hamstrings.
7892775 tn?1395673991 I was on the ball about two days non stop to help with the same pains. However I think with all the friction of the exercises I developed a skin tag down there so I stopped to see if it would go away!. Still waiting...
Avatar f tn ve been suffering with shoulder strain for days now!!! My own fault for refusing to put my heavy shopping bags on the floor of the train during rush hour.. Next day left shoulder was killing me and now virtually no lateral movement, doctor recommended shoulder exercises which have helped but I can barely use my left arm, wrist feels numb and tingly, left shoulder stiff..
1936411 tn?1333831849 For balance, my PT has me sit in a corner on an exercise ball. He sits in front of me to catch me, then I roll the ball out, put my feet together, hands on knees and close my eyes. we also do a similar thing standing on a piece of foam. Just make sure someone is with you!! I can give you other exercises for leg weakness if you want them. If you think you would benefit from PT, then I would push the neuro.
Avatar m tn It produces a nagging pain which is difficult to reach, therefore, self massage is usually done with a tennis ball lying on the floor or with products designed specifically for this like the back massager or the neck and back massager to prevent strain. A hot shower is the best form of heat to use. Correct poor posture and the neck exercises also help stretch shortened pectoral muscles in front which can be associated with this muscle.
Avatar f tn I uwe'd mine for the last few weeks before going into labor, I ended up having him 4 days before due date. I'm not sure of it helped bring labor on or not, and I didn't use it once in labor. I feel like it's a wonderful thing to do instead of lounging on the couch or in a computer chair. Puts your pelvis in the right spot so baby can engage your cervix, and let's baby get in a great position, helping to keep baby out of breech.
Avatar f tn Some months ago, I had an arm accident from picking something heavy up too fast. There was pain, and muscle soreness for quite some time. Therapy and at-home exercises seem to have helped pretty much all of the pain, however, the "ball" of my arm near the shoulder still slips out of the cuff when I move my arm certain directions, and the exercises don't seem to be helping much. Even after all these months.
Avatar f tn Your old arm pain might have been brought back by spasticity in the arm... The strengthening exercises probably helped relieve the strain on the elbow joint. Definitely mention it to the neuro, and see what he says. Another take on it - your achiness in the arm might have been early symptoms of MS.
Avatar f tn Hey ladies. Have any of you started using the birthing ball and drinking the raspberry tea etc? If so, when did you start?
Avatar n tn 4 about 110lbs) and swung back too far with my racket before contacting the tennis ball. I recall feeling the impact on my arm but it was not severe. My arm hurt a little the next day and over the course of a week the pain increased. I took three weeks off tennis and took NSAIDS. On January 5th I tried to play but had to stop because of pain on the upper outside of my arm all the way down to my elbow and pain on the front side of the armpit area.
Avatar n tn The exercise you mentioned are part of the routine post mastectomy to regain range of motion on the operative side.

I have been doing flex ball exercise on and off putting it on hold bc of my back gets really painful when i do that one and the others are Thera band exercises external and internal exercises going across have a towel to the side and going internal and external.
Avatar n tn I went back to the Dr a couple of weeks ago as it was getting stiffer and was given more diclofenac, stretching exercises to do and have got an appointment on the 23rd with a physiotherapist.
7831604 tn?1399711007 Brother in law just got me an exercises ball from his work wondering if any ladies have had any sort of luck with one if they have been having slight contractions?
620923 tn?1452915648 Oh yes, I know all too well that the cerebellum and balance go hand and hand....I am the CL of the Chiari forum here on MedHelp so I am always learning from new members too. But, how we can exercise safely has eluded me for far too long.
Avatar m tn thanks for the advice i acctuallyt have been doing some exercises like haty since the day after to no avail yet and now my thumb is changing color i think i may go to the walk in clinic today i guess i must but thank again
