Today’s outdoor Rooted Movement therapeutic obstacle course supported:
✨ balance & coordination
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ confidence & body awareness
✨ motor planning & problem solving
✨ core strength & postural control
✨ visual-spatial processing
✨ sensory integration through movement and play”

This wasn’t ‘just an obstacle course.’
It was a full-body sensory-motor experience designed to support regulation, coordination, confidence, motor planning, balance, and functional movement through play.

This looks like play.

And it is.

But it’s also:

* building core strength
* developing balance and coordination
* supporting body awareness
* organizing the nervous system
* and creating confidence from the inside out

All at the same time.

No drills.
No pressure.
No “do it like this.”

Just the right environment…
and a child figuring out their body in a way that actually sticks.

⸻

When we use the trampoline in our sessions, we’re not just “jumping.”

We’re using the natural movement of the surface to:

* support regulation
* improve coordination
* build strength in a way that feels safe and successful
* and give kids space to explore movement on their own terms

Paired with tools like dynamic seating (like the ball here), it creates a powerful combination of movement, input, and learning.

⸻

And yes—equipment matters.

We specifically use the ACON X trampoline because it provides:
✔️ a consistent, responsive bounce
✔️ a safe, durable structure
✔️ and the kind of movement feedback that actually supports development

(It’s my go-to for both therapeutic and home use.)

⸻

If you’ve been looking for something that actually supports your child’s development—
without forcing them into a box—this is it.

✨ Rooted Movement
✨ 1:1 sessions
✨ neurodiversity-affirming support

Where movement meets connection, and progress looks different for every child.

Summer is right around the corner, and I know how hard it can be to find adaptive & therapeutic movement programs for our children with disabilities—something that actually feels safe, supportive, and truly meets them where they are.

So instead of trying to make our kids fit into what’s already out there, we created a therapeutic movement program that actually fits them.

Over the past year, we started something small at called Rooted Movement. Just a few kids at a time, really intentional, really supported. A space where safety, connection, and regulation come first, and where movement is guided in a way that truly meets each child where they are.

These sessions blend therapeutic trampoline, gymnastics equipment, obstacle courses, and nature-based movement in a way that helps kids build strength, coordination, and confidence—without the pressure of needing to “keep up.” Having both indoor and outdoor spaces, room to explore, and an environment that becomes part of the experience has made a bigger difference than I ever expected.

I’ve had the opportunity to watch kids gain stability, take risks, try new things, and grow in ways that feel really meaningful—not just in their movement, but in how they carry themselves and interact with the world around them.

This summer, we’re opening up more spots and expanding this program to more families in our community.

We keep groups very small (just 3 kids at a time, and parents are always welcome) so each child can get the support they need while still having a social, engaging experience. This tends to be a really great fit for kids who are autistic, children with Down syndrome, or those navigating low muscle tone, hypermobility, coordination challenges, developmental delays, or other physical or sensory-motor support needs.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about teaching movement skills. It’s about helping kids feel capable in their bodies first—and from there, everything else starts to build.

If you’ve been looking for something like this for your child, I’d love to connect and help you figure out if it feels like the right fit 🤍

One reason I love poly-bed trampolines for therapy clinics is that you can actually clean them.

Poly beds are made from woven polypropylene, which creates a smoother surface that can be sprayed and wiped down quickly between clients.

And in a pediatric therapy clinic… that matters.

A lot.

Kids drool.
Kids sneeze.
Kids wipe their noses with their hands and then immediately grab the trampoline.

So being able to spray, wipe, and move on to the next session is a huge advantage.

Many gymnastics facilities use web beds or string beds, which are great for competitive trampoline, but they’re much harder to sanitize because of the woven webbing structure.

One thing I appreciate about trampolines is that they offer poly-bed options that allow you to select the type of bounce you want for your therapy clinic.

They offer their standard poly bed, and they also offer a performance poly bed, which provides a softer, higher, and easier bounce.

That means I can choose the type of bounce I want for therapy while still being able to quickly clean the surface between kids.

For a busy therapy clinic, that combination is pretty hard to beat.

“Is trampoline safe for children with Down syndrome?”

The answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no.

In the past, recommendations often focused on routine neck X-rays to screen for instability.

However, current research shows these scans do not reliably predict cervical instability.
Instead, clinicians now monitor for specific neurological and physical signs that may indicate concern.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also makes an important distinction:

Trampoline use should be avoided 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Backyard trampolines and therapeutic trampoline environments are very different.

When used intentionally and carefully, trampoline movement can support:
• balance
• strength
• coordination
• confidence in movement
• and much more

The goal is not avoiding movement.

The goal is safe, supported opportunities for children to explore movement and build skills.

Safety and individualized support always come first.

Yes.
It looks like play.

Yes.
It looks like fun.

And it is.

That’s exactly why I do this work.

I love pouring into kids.
I love supporting families.
I love watching confidence grow in real time.
I love seeing joy come back into movement.

But in all seriousness…

There is a lot happening here that doesn’t get noticed — because it’s a trampoline.

When most people see a trampoline, they see play.

When I see a trampoline, I see:

• Proprioceptive input
• Kinesthetic awareness
• Vestibular processing & balance work
• Rhythmic nervous system regulation
• Motor planning
• Coordination & postural control
• Bilateral integration
• Executive functioning
• Communication opportunities
• Emotional regulation
• Social-emotional awareness
• Breath control
• Visual-motor integration
• Core strength
• Joint stability
• Bone loading
• Confidence in movement

This is therapeutic trampoline — with a play-based lens.

It’s not “just bouncing.”

It’s graded input.
It’s physics.
It’s developmental progression.
It’s nervous system support wrapped in joy.

And that’s what I’ll be speaking about at the Play Conference — how we can use trampoline safely and intentionally as a therapeutic tool across PT, OT, and SLP practice.

When we intentionally create environments that invite whole-body, child-led movement — environments that support safety, connection, and challenge — we align with how children are biologically designed to learn.

Play is not extra.

It is essential.

And when we engage the whole body, we truly engage the whole brain.

I just realized I haven’t shared any photos from our beautiful shoot with Poppy Photography—and I’ve never really shown what the gym looks like with the doors wide open 🌿

Yesterday, I was on a phone call with an organization interested in having me speak at their congresses about adaptive gymnastics. As I described the farm gym—the open doors, the light, the quiet, the way movement and nature coexist—she paused and said, “Wow… it feels so calm and peaceful.”

She had never seen it.
But she could feel it.

That moment reminded me just how special this space is. This place holds a steady sense of safety and grounding that can reach someone even through words and tone alone. That feels incredibly magical to me.

I wanted to share that with you—and hope each of you is finding moments of calm, connection, and magic this holiday season, surrounded by the people you love 🤍

Prone high-fives are a playful but powerful way to build strength and coordination while a child is working against gravity.

In this position, we’re supporting:
• upper extremity strength
• back and neck extensor strength
• postural control
• weight shifting through the arms and trunk
• cross-body coordination
• hand-eye coordination

Prone work can be challenging for many kids, so we keep it interactive and relational. The goal isn’t holding a position longer — it’s helping the body engage, organize, and connect through movement.

This is how we layer strength, coordination, and regulation into play-based therapeutic trampoline at Balanced Creations.
