Top 20 Best-Selling Custom Stress Balls

The United States is a fast-paced business that requires a daily grind to stay ahead. There are tight deadlines, daunting projects, increasing client demands, and an ever-growing stream of competition looking to get ahead of your business. This rat race leads to an exorbitant amount of stress, so managing that stress is critical to continue to be productive. Otherwise, chronic stress builds up and can cause mental and physical damage to your body, contributing to atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. It affects your mind by causing anxiety, depression, or addiction.1 That explains why so many coworkers are addicted to coffee, energy drinks, or worse addictive stimulants.
That's where stress balls come in for your employees. Not only are they a fun way of marketing your business, but they are a proven way to reduce stress. Stress balls do work. One study published in Hemodialysis International in June 2023 showed that patients would actively squeezed a stress ball over a 4-week period showed a significant reduction in both anxiety and depression.2 Another study published in 2020 by Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice measured vital signs and stress levels based on comfort and found that while squeezing the stress balls for 10-15 minutes did not have an affect on vital signs, it did have a positive effect on stress.3 Another study published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing observed the effectiveness of stress balls in reducing anxiety and fear during a PCR procedure in adolescents. The study showed that using stress balls during the procedure had a positive effect on the stress level of the adolescents.4 Yet another study published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International found that a large majority of students using stress ball exercises for stress management showed a satisfactory recovery from their stress.5
