Ease for Temporary Pain
-
If you or the person you care for needs to elevate a leg, place the knee or ankle on a ball that meets your size requirements.
The surface of the ball is not slippery so your leg or ankle stays in place.
The ball feels cool to the skin because of the air which fills it, providing a soothing effect on any inflamed or sore area.
Two feet or legs can be elevated on the flexible BallsEase® ball.
This is a comfortable position when lying in bed and watching TV.
A ball under the foot supports and cools an injured foot.
