What is Rebound Therapy?
In the UK, ‘Rebound Therapy’ means the therapeutic use of the trampoline. It is distinct from gymnastic trampolining.
Rebound Therapy is a general method that has become widespread throughout the UK across Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy & Education. Therefore, there is no specific trademark or license to purchase.
Rebound Therapy is not a regulated intervention or profession in itself. It is one of many ‘tools in a toolbox’ used by practitioners as part of a wider therapeutic program for children and adults with disabilities.
As there is no governing body for this activity in the UK, there is not one specific organisation that individuals must go to in order to be trained in rebound therapy.
The rebound therapy intervention provided by BounceOT is not a trampolining sport. All BounceOT staff comply with expert guidelines published by The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) special interest group Rebound Therapy Association for Chartered Physiotherapists. They published ‘Safe Practice in Rebound Therapy’ in 2016.
