Kathleen hi.
A
There.

So the Swiss ball was developed in 1965 by a group of physical therapists in Switzerland and they used it for therapy with children who have disabilities.
So it's used more as a therapeutic tool, rather than say football, which is more of an aerobic tech tool.

So let's start out making sure that you are at a right angle on the.
