Rebound Therapy is a form of physiotherapy. It uses a trampoline to provide therapeutic exercises to people with a wide variety of disabilities and additional needs.

By carrying out basic through to highly technical physiotherapy techniques on the trampoline, the therapy can provide many therapeutic and physiological benefits:
