Franklin 5" Easy Grip Ball

Product Overview

The Franklin 5" Easy Grip Ball is a sensory stimulation, self-massage, and movement-education tool developed by Franklin Method® founder Eric Franklin. Featuring soft rounded bumps for enhanced grip and deeper tactile feedback, these inflatable balls are designed to support balance training, gait improvement, proprioception development, and myofascial release. The textured surface provides more sensory input than smooth Franklin balls, making them ideal for movement awareness exercises, relaxation techniques, and targeted muscle release. Widely used in Franklin Method®, Pilates, rehabilitation, and wellness programs, the Easy Grip Balls help improve posture, coordination, circulation, and overall movement quality.
