The answer is YES! The classic stress-buster actually does work. When we’re stressed out, our bodies tense and we physically clench. The stress ball stimulates you to squeeze and release, which can leave you feeling less edgy than you started.

1. Can A Stress Ball Really Relieve Stress?
Stress balls and shapes have been a promotional product
favourite for a long while. They’re low cost, easy to
distribute to customers and have a large print area to
advertise your business logo.

3. The question we have to ask is ‘Do they really relieve
stress?’ There is very little point in having a promotional
product that that isn’t practical as people won’t use it
and your business logo will go unnoticed when the
stress ball is thrown behind a desk, never to be seen
again.

4. What is stress?
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any type of
demand or threat. When you sense danger, either real or
imaginary, the body’s defences kick in and a rapid,
automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction
happens. The stress response is the body’s way of
protecting you.

5. The fight or flight response
When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by
releasing a flood of stress hormones including adrenaline and
cortisol, which provoke the body into making an emergency action.
Your heart beats quicker, muscles tense, blood pressure can rise,
breath hastens and your senses become sharper. These physical
changes can increase your strength and stamina, hurry your reaction
time, and boost your focus. All this in turn prepares you to either
fight or flee from the danger at hand.

7. Now, I’m not saying that working in an office is going to
cause this type of reaction but, stress does happen at
work. Deadlines need to be met, targets need to be hit
and meetings need to be had, even when you have lots of
work to do. These factors can cause stress in the
employee so, is that promotional stress ball sitting on the
desk going to help?

8. Do stress balls relieve stress?
The answer is YES! The classic stress-buster actually
does work. When we’re stressed out, our bodies tense
and we physically clench. The stress ball stimulates you
to squeeze and release, which can leave you feeling less
edgy than you started.

10. Squeezing a stress ball is not a long term solution for
stress but, it can help your body to release tension in
that instant. The squeezing action is a reminder to relax
the muscles that are clenched when you’re anxious,
which can help avoid complications like stress headaches
or pain that accompany long periods of tensing.
