What is Rebound Therapy?
Rebound Therapy is the specific methodology and programme of use of trampolines to provide opportunities for enhanced movement patterns, therapeutic positioning, exercise and recreation to children and adults including those who are Neurodivergent and participants from mild to severe physical disabilities and from mild to profound and multiple learning disabilities.
Rebound Therapy is used to facilitate movement, promote balance, promote an increase or decrease in muscle tone, promote relaxation, promote sensory integration, improve fitness and exercise tolerance, and to improve communication skills.
Students progress can be recorded using the Winstrada Development Programme, Grades 1, 2 and 3 of this programme, and can be awarded certificates and badges for each level.

Brain Stimulation programme
If you have ever wondered what you could offer your students in addition to the development programme, or during their 'free time' on the trampoline or rebounder, the Brain Stimulation training course is ideal for you.
This online course shows you how to put together dozens of fun, brain challenging exercises for participants, at varying levels of ability.
These exercises make an enjoyable and beneficial addition to an existing programme, can be used as a standalone complementary session, or are useful as a fun warm up / cool down activity.
Brain Stimulation is an add-on module for qualified Rebound Therapy practitioners and those with a recognised mainstream trampoline coach qualification.
Aspects covered on the course include:
-
Concentration
-
Co-ordination (authentic and sequenced),
-
Balance
-
Cross lateral movement
-
Memory development.
The Brain Stimulation online training course comprises five steps:
1) Reading material
2) Study of the video of the full programme
3) Study of worksheet and accompanying individual video clips
4) Completion of a short theory assessment
5) Practical assessment by video (You will be asked to get someone to film you on a mobile phone while you demonstrate the teaching points of some exercises.)
Candidates may register at any time and complete the programme at their own pace.
When all steps have been completed, we will promptly provide the person with their course completion certificate and Validation Number.
Flexi-Bounce Therapy
Flexi-Bounce Therapy is the specific programme of use of an orthopaedic quality rebounder to provide therapeutic exercise, movement and recreation for people across a wide range of additional needs, disabilities and ages.
Currently, a common issue for many school and venues is limited provision of Rebound Therapy sessions due to student numbers, sports hall time and/or and only having access to one or two full sized trampolines.
Some therapists and schools are not able to provide Rebound Therapy without the budget or space for a full sized trampoline. Flexi-Bounce Therapy is the solution to this dilemma and is the ideal complement to Rebound Therapy. It is also suitable as a standalone activity.
Flexi-Bounce Therapy can be provided on a daily basis in the classroom, or in any convenient space, or at home, in between students' usual Rebound Therapy sessions.
Flexi-Bounce Therapy takes place on orthopaedic quality rebounders, with a minimum diameter of 120cm.
Many models have a removable handle which although not essential to the programme, is used with a number of exercises to support the teacher’s back when is providing support to a non ambulant or less ambulant participant.
The online Flexi-Bounce therapy Training course comprises five steps:
1) Study of the reading material
2) Study of the video of practical aspects
3) Study of the video of how to measure and record progress and provide evidence of outcomes
4) Completion of the assessment paper
5) Practical assessment by video (You will be asked to get someone to film you on a mobile phone while you demonstrate the teaching points of some key skills.)
You will be allocated your own personal course tutor who will guide you through the training course and who will be available to you at any time for help and guidance. On completion of the course, you will be sent recommended further reading material and videos, including examples of exercises being put into categories to suit specific needs.
Candidates may register at any time and complete the program at their own pace
When all steps of the programme are completed we will send you your Flexi-Bounce Therapy certificate and validation number.
