Milliard Anti-Burst Peanut Ball Approximately 31×15″ (80x40cm) Physio Roll for Exercise, Therapy, Labor Birthing and Dog Training
Milliard Peanut Ball uses:
Labor – The peanut ball is placed between the legs to assist in birthing, specifically in epidural births when mom has to stay in bed. For this application, we suggest using a 45 or 50 inch peanut ball.
Children’s Therapy – Recommended by physical therapist to help with gross motor strengthening as it encourages balance and stabilization of the core. The peanut ball is uni-directional making is safer in therapy than a traditional large round ball. Also great for the sensory child looking for vestibular input. Fidgety children and teens prefer using the peanut ball as a saddle seat rather than a traditional chair.
What size ball should I get my child? Measure from the tip of your child’s fingers to his armpit. Chose a ball sized within 2″ to ensure that your child will sit on the ball securely.
Fitness – Use to perform stretches and crunches in Pilates, yoga and core training. As the peanut ball only moves in 1 direction, its the perfect alternative for those who experience difficulty in balancing on a round ball.
Rehab – Position around the body to help elevate the feet or relieve back pain.
Dog Training – Used for advanced core conditioning for both sporting and working dogs, as well as for animal rehab and therapy. The peanut shape is long enough for a canine’s four legs, letting them stand in their natural stance with a straight back and relaxed neck.

Great for labor It was a small thing but it made my labor much more manageable! I’ve heard it works best if you’ve had an epidural, but I went epidural free and the ball was IMMENSLY helpful! No matter how many pillows they shove to help you desperate your legs (while on your side), you can never get your leg high enough… Well with this you can. And because of its shape, the doctors were even able to check me without moving the ball away!Not sure what else I would use it for, but I will definitely be…
Owe it all to the Peanut Ball! We got this for my wife to assist with delivery. Peanut balls were recommended for those doing epidurals. I’ll spare you the details, but this peanut ball was an absolute lifesaver during a very difficulty and long (6+ hours) active labor. During rest periods from pushing, my wife used this peanut ball to keep her hips spread, which actually resulted in the baby moving down on his own! It was just what we needed during this marathon! I highly recommend going for peanut balls over the round…
