Powerball is a handheld gyroscopic exerciser that can provide both relief and strength to anyone suffering from the disease. Powerball is powerful, easy to use and can help to combat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as:

• Reduce stiffness & muscle rigidity
• Increase hand & arm flexibility
• Relieve pain caused by muscle tension
• Build strength to prevent muscle wastage
• Promote coordination & sense of balance

Slowness of movement and muscle rigidity in Parkinson’s patients can sometimes make it difficult to practice normal muscle range of motion. That’s why regular strengthening is very important in the treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Maintaining healthy and strong muscles prevents atrophy (muscle wastage), which occurs when muscles become underused.

As one of the world’s most effective isometric exercisers, Powerball can stop and prevent the symptoms of muscle wastage. Isometric exercise does not lengthen or shorten the length of a muscle like standard concentric and eccentric exercises do.

Instead, isometric exercise engages a muscle from deep within its core, keeping it stationary yet working it hard. For this reason, exercise with Powerball is highly-effective for strengthening and muscle building yet, is still 100% non-impact and pain-free. This allows you to strengthen your muscles, even with minimal effort and makes Powerball very beneficial in the treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

Muscle rigidity and stiffness are primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and can make even simple movements difficult to carry out. Exercise with Powerball can be extremely beneficial in the treatment for Parkinson’s disease, as it relieves stiffness by loosening out tight muscles and joints.

This happens two ways:

1. Spinning Powerball promotes the circulation of blood, which helps to relieve tension and pain and loosen out tight muscles.

2. Spinning Powerball stimulates the production of synovial fluid, which helps increase flexibility and range of motion in joints.

The combination of both benefits means less stiffness and more mobility for anyone suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

Isometric exercise with Powerball is 100% non-impact, meaning it places absolutely zero strain on sore or painful muscles. So, when you exercise with Powerball, you need never worry about overexerting yourself or sustaining an injury in the process.

At the size of a tennis ball, Powerball fits securely and comfortably in your hand. Very little grip strength is required to spin Powerball at slow speeds, so you can use this product even if you cannot fully grasp the ball due to pain in the hand or forearm.

It takes very little effort to start Powerball. If you are a first-time user of Powerball, we recommend starting off with one of our Autostart models. To start Autostart Powerball, simply wind the rotor back a couple of turns and release. This is quite easy to do, however, if you find that muscle stiffness or tremors are making this difficult to do, you can also roll Powerball across a flat table to get it started. See here for more information on how to start your Powerball.

Powerball takes the monotony out of strengthening and rehabilitation. One of our Powerball models is fitted with colourful LED lights, which create a mesmerising lightshow as you spin. The faster you spin, the brighter and more epic the glow.
Many of our Powerball models are fitted with a battery-free speed meter that allows you to track your strengthening process and spin speeds. The speed meter will even save your highest spin speed, so you can keep motivated to beat your high score.
