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.

📘 New Blog Update: Research in Motion by

I’m excited to share an update on the masters-level research I’m currently undertaking on behalf of Bounce OT, exploring a topic I’m deeply passionate about:

“Therapeutic Use of the Trampoline in Occupational Therapy: A Scoping Review”

This project, supervised by Dr Linda Renton, is now well underway. The aim is to map and describe what the existing literature tells us about how trampolines are used therapeutically — and how this knowledge can meaningfully inform Occupational Therapy practice.

As the focus has developed, the research now centres on:

• Identifying and charting the range of literature on trampoline use in therapeutic contexts
• Exploring how trampoline-based occupations are conceptualised, implemented, and evaluated
• Understanding the reported benefits and challenges across different settings
• Highlighting gaps and offering directions that support evidence-informed OT practice

To capture the full picture, I’m using broad search terms such as Rebound Therapy, Trampoline Exercise(s), and Trampoline Rehabilitation, ensuring the review includes diverse perspectives and terminology.

Although ethical approval isn’t required, rigour and transparency remain central. I’m developing a quality statement to guide how I assess the trustworthiness of both peer‑reviewed and relevant grey literature — especially where professional bodies contribute valuable insights.

I’m now finalising the search strategy and beginning screening and charting. I’m excited to see how this review will help shape the conversation around trampolines as purposeful, therapeutic tools in OT.

New Blog! We delivered a full‑day Rebound Therapy training for 30 education staff across Cedars Academy Trust in Gateshead, Newcastle

Cedars Academy Trust reached out after seeing our training offer on the BounceOT website. Their leadership wanted a refresher for colleagues trained years ago and a comprehensive introduction for newer staff. We designed the day to meet both needs—balancing purpose and practice, with space to update safety knowledge, strengthen clinical reasoning, and build confidence through hands‑on facilitation.

Ahead of the session, we tailored content to Cedars’ context—staff roles, equipment, learner profiles, and timetables.

Excited to be at the University of Salford Occupational Therapy Conference 2026 today!

I’m exhibiting on the ground floor of the Mary Seacole Building all day and presenting on a topic close to my heart:

“Scaling Occupational Therapy: Enhancing Impact and Value Through a Social Enterprise Model.”

This is a milestone moment for me. Back in 2021, I shared an early vision for how social enterprise could shape the future of OT. Since then, we’ve grown BounceOT into a social enterprise dedicated to inclusive, therapeutic play and occupational therapy services for children and adults with disabilities—grounded in co-creation and driven by equity, access, and innovation.

Today, I’ll explore how social enterprise can transform our profession—broadening access, deepening community impact, and creating sustainable pathways for innovation.

If you’re at the conference, come say hello at the exhibition!
