Bounce OT

Bounce OT BounceOT is a unique service that combines sensory play with physical activity to provide a highly effective therapeutic experience.

Franchise & Licenced Training Bounce OT Stirling CIC was founded by Callum MacKinnon (Specialist Occupational Therapist) in 2017. Our skilled and compassionate staff provide specialist support for individuals looking to achieve personalised therapeutic goals, while also offering parents the opportunity for brief respite. All BounceOT staff are trained under the principles of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) Play Guidelines, published in 2023. This is the foundation for all our work - it ensures staff at all levels of BounceOT follow an evidence-based use of play in assessment and intervention, and to evaluate play participation as a meaningful goal or outcome for the child or adult accessing our services.

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.

🎉 Exciting news! 🎉

Founder & Lead Occupational Therapist, Callum MacKinnon , has been featured in Converge’s national business campaign as part of the 2026 Converge Challenge. In the campaign video and imagery shared across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, Callum reflects on launching BounceOT in his final year at Glasgow Caledonian University and returning nearly a decade later to inspire the next generation of university-led social entrepreneurs 🚀.

What started as Callum’s personal idea—driven by his passion for inclusive, meaningful play and experiences as a carer—became a Social Enterprise runner-up in Converge Challenge 2017, earning crucial funding and mentorship. That support helped BounceOT blossom into the award-winning, impact-driven service it is today.

Now, Callum is back with Converge, encouraging students, graduates, and staff across Scotland to seize their moment.

If you’ve got an innovative idea with real-world impact, apply by 2 April 2026 at 👉 convergechallenge.com
