The Habys sensory pillow with protrusions is a versatile tool ideal for rehabilitation, sensory integration therapy, and balance training. Suitable for children and adults, it stimulates the foot’s nerve endings, supports postural improvement, and strengthens deep muscles, making it beneficial in cases of lower limb pain or coordination disorders.
Features
The non-slip PVC surface with spiky protrusions stimulates foot reflex zones and enhances circulation. One side is covered in sensory spikes for stimulation and coordination training, while the other has a smooth yet uneven surface for gentle balance exercises. It is ideal for injury rehabilitation, core stabilization, and pediatric or elderly therapy. A manual pump is included for easy inflation. Take care not to damage the valve during needle insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the pillow without a physiotherapist?
Yes, for general exercises, but for therapeutic purposes it is advisable to follow professional guidance, especially at the beginning.
Is it stable on slippery floors?
The PVC surface offers good grip, but it is recommended to use it on non-glossy floors or with a mat underneath.
Is it safe for children?
Yes, under adult supervision. It is particularly helpful for children with motor development issues or flat feet.
How much should I inflate it?
The pressure should be moderate – enough to maintain stability while allowing some oscillation. The included hand pump makes it easy to adjust.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or alcohol-based cleaners to prevent damage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When is the spiked side of the pillow recommended?
The spiked surface is ideal for users with flat feet, neurological disorders, or sensory integration challenges. It activates foot reflex zones and strengthens neuromuscular feedback, improving proprioception and circulation while offering mild pain relief.
Can the pillow be used while sitting for posture correction?
Yes, using it as a seat cushion activates core stabilizing muscles in the pelvis and spine. This helps improve posture, especially during long periods of desk work or sedentary routines.
What is the recommended usage time for beginners?
New users should start with 5–10 minutes per session, gradually increasing over time. Professional guidance is advisable during the initial phase to ensure safe and effective training.
Is it suitable for ankle rehab after injury?
Yes, it’s widely used in the proprioceptive phase of ankle rehabilitation. It enhances balance and stability, helping prevent re-injury. Always consult a physiotherapist before use in post-injury settings.
Are there any contraindications for neurological patients?
Yes. Patients with severe instability, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or epilepsy should use it only under medical supervision, as the sensory stimulation might affect their balance or neural response.
