The child’s pose with a Swiss ball is a gentle mobility exercise that stretches the lower back, shoulders, and sides of the body. Using the ball adds an extra range of motion and encourages a smooth, supported stretch, making it suitable for reducing tension and improving flexibility. It’s often included in warm-ups, cool-downs, and rehabilitation for spinal and shoulder mobility.

- Rest both of your hands up on the stability ball about shoulder-width apart.
- Sit your buttocks back onto your heels (or as far as you can manage comfortably).
- At the same time, stretch and push the ball away from your body.
