A Brief History of the “Birthing Ball”...created by an Italian
toy maker, Aguilino Cosani, in 1963, "birthing balls" were originally
sold as a Gymnastik ball. The balls were initially used by therapists
for neurological, orthopedic and fitness applications. During the 1980s
the balls slowly moved from the clinical setting into the fitness and
athletic arenas and into “Birth Centers.” Stability balls are now one
of the most versatile pieces of equipment used by many different
professions.
