What is Trampoline Rebound Therapy?

Rebound Therapy uses trampolines to provide therapeutic exercises for people with a wide variety of disabilities and additional needs.

Adults and children with autism can suffer from severe anxiety. Controlled bouncing and Rebound Therapy exercises can help alleviate this and has a strong calming effect.

The effect of deep pressure and weightlessness together has many positive effects on the brain, and can help with a range of behaviours often seen in people on the autistic spectrum, from increased concentration - to an increased sense of calm.

Benefits of Rebound Therapy

Tactile Defensiveness 

It has been observed that tactile defensiveness reduces or, in some cases disappears completely with Rebound Therapy, reducing the anxiety of being touched. 

Pro-prioception

In some cases of autism, a persons perception of the world around them can lead to them tapping their surroundings in order to establish where they are in relation to the world and objects around them. The sensation of bouncing helps them centre where their body is. 

Increased Concentration 

It has been observed by teachers in autistic schools that there is a significant increase in concentration amongst children after they have experienced a session of bouncing.
