Small Peanut-Shaped Therapy Ball for Sensory Input
The Millard Peanut Ball Small is a uniquely shaped therapy ball designed to provide vestibular and proprioceptive sensory input while building core strength, balance, and coordination. The peanut shape prevents rolling away, making it safer and easier to use than traditional therapy balls.
