We’ve recently been introduced to an incredible therapy that beautifully complements Rebound Therapy — and it’s something many people have never heard of.

It’s called The Scotson Technique (TST), and we truly believe it deserves much wider recognition.

TST is a gentle, research-based physiotherapy approach that focuses on improving the quality of breathing. Using light, breath-like pressures, it helps stimulate blood flow to the respiratory system and encourages healthier breathing patterns.

Breathing impacts so much more than oxygen levels. It influences heart rate, posture, movement, digestion, brain function, sleep, learning, emotional regulation, immunity, and healing. Because breathing and the brain are so closely connected, many symptoms associated with neurological conditions may be linked to disordered breathing.

Neurological conditions, brain injury, or atypical movement patterns can affect respiratory development. Rather than relying on traditional exercises, TST works by mimicking natural breathing patterns to:
• Improve circulation
• Support core stability
• Enhance oxygen delivery to the nerves and brain
• Promote better overall function

We are particularly excited about the potential benefits of combining TST with Rebound Therapy — the possibilities are truly inspiring.

You can learn more via Advance: The Institute for The Scotson Technique TST, who have a centre in East Grinstead, West Sussex, They also provide training for parents and carers so they can deliver the therapy themselves.
