Cooch Ball

Cooch Ball.

What, in the heck, is a Cooch Ball?

What a Cooch Ball is & Why You Need One!

A Cooch Ball is an amazing addition to the pelvic health world. It improves circulation to pelvic muscles in 2-3 minutes a day and might just change your life.

Let’s back up to the first time I, Dr. Kelly, heard about Cooch Balls…

It was just a typical Tuesday...a client is doing AWESOME on her pelvic floor work, and asks me, nonchalantly, "Have you heard of Cooch Balls?"

Me: "What?!?"  “Did you say Cooch??”

Client: "Yeah! Cooch Balls. One of my friends has started using one and LOVES it."

Me: "Well, sounds like I need to learn more about this."

2 weeks later, I'm meeting with Jana Danielson, creator of Cooch Balls

And we’ve been friends, and professional colleagues since.  I have a fun video of that first meeting. If you have 12 minutes, you can watch Jana and I’s first meeting here.  If you don’t have 12 minutes, you can speed up the movie in the settings…or if you’d prefer to read, the rest will take you about 6 minutes.

Why Would Someone Use a Cooch Ball?

Pelvic PTs, Pelvic Physios and Dr. Kelly's Online Pelvic Wellness Courses all teach you about self-pelvic floor muscle assessments. But if you don't have time or privacy to do that, sitting on a Cooch or Gooch Ball for 2-3 minutes a day can be a FABULOUS way to improve your brain’s connection to the pelvic floor muscles and improve your pelvic muscle health.

Wait...Cooch AND Gooch Balls??

Yep! Cooch balls for the ladies. Gooch balls for the guys. Co-branded, so each ball has both names on it. Super cool.

What are the Cooch and Gooch Balls, specifically?

Cooch & Gooch Balls are a patented rubber ball, designed with just the right shape and resistance, to fit in your bike seat spaces, and reach your pelvic floor muscles.

When inflated to the correct pressure, Cooch & Gooch Balls apply moderate, specific, pressure, to your pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to improved awareness and circulation in the pelvic muscles. That, in turn, leads to reduced pain and improved function.

Do I insert Cooch and Gooch balls inside my vagina-rectum?

What?!? NO!! Have you seen the size of them? They are EXTERNAL tools.

You inflate them partially (guide comes with them), then sit on them, so the pressure gently pushes up on your perineal space (place between vagina and rectum, or scrotum and rectum), which gives you feedback on where your muscles are in space.

This pressure also cues the brain to send more oxygen-rich blood to the region, thereby increasing tissue health.

So How do I use a Cooch Ball?

Inflate it, a bit…not all the way.

Sit on it for 2-3 minutes.

You could breathe and-or do some basic pelvic exercises during those 2-3 minutes...but the cool thing is that you don't 'have' to. Even just sitting on the ball helps to improve your position sense and tissue health.

Well, that's cool.

I could do 2-3 minutes a day, while I'm drinking my coffee in the morning.

That's the spirit! Yes, you can! You could also use a rolled towel, but as I mentioned, the Cooch and Gooch Balls were designed with this specific use in mind, so their resistance is tailored to that which the pelvic floor muscles need.
