Therapy Ball

How to Do:

1. Setup:

  • Use a medium-sized therapy ball suitable for the participant’s size and comfort.
  • Ensure the area is safe and free from obstacles.
  • Optionally, provide a music player with soft classical or nature sounds for a calming atmosphere.

2. Seated Rocking:

  • The participant sits on the therapy ball while the helper sits in front of them.
  • The helper places their hands gently on the participant’s hips for stability.
  • Gently rock the participant:
    – Left to right 10 times.
    – Forward and backward 10 times.

3. Tummy Rocking:

  • The participant lies on their tummy on the therapy ball.
  • The helper supports the participant to ensure safety and balance.
  • Gently rock the participant:
    – Left to right 10 times.
    – Forward and backward 10 times.

4. Back Rocking:

  • The participant lies on their back on the therapy ball.
  • The helper provides support to keep the participant stable.
  • Gently rock the participant:
    – Left to right 10 times.
    – Forward and backward 10 times.

5. Repeat as Needed:

  • Repeat the sequence if time allows or if the participant shows signs of needing additional calming sensory input.


Tips for Success:

• Monitor the participant’s comfort level and adjust the rocking intensity accordingly.
• Provide verbal encouragement or soothing words during the activity to enhance relaxation.
• Ensure the helper maintains a firm but gentle grip for safety and support.
