Are sports stress balls healthy?

Although there isn’t sufficient data on the mental health benefits of stress balls, they are known to calm and distract from distress. Sports stress balls are used to manage anxiety and tension, making them ideal for people who work in high-pressure environments.
Mini squeeze balls are sometimes carried around as reminders to focus. Office managers might consider giving sports stress balls to employees to help regulate emotions. This can lead to higher productivity and improved morale.
Foam stress balls are often used in rehabilitation after sports injuries. Some doctors instruct patients recovering from hand injuries to squeeze the foam balls intermittently as physical therapy. They’ve also been credited with strengthening muscles, relieving the pain of arthritis and improving blood circulation.
Stress balls help with fine motor skills and general relaxation, too, which is why many sports academies and sports therapists recommend their use for athletes.
