What child doesn’t want to be active, move around and have fun? Those who visit Rainbow Hub are no different, and our Rebound Therapy sessions help them to do so.
Rebound Therapy involves the use of a trampoline to facilitate movement, encourage therapeutic exercise and provide recreation for children with physical disabilities. Promoting balance, relaxation, sensory integration and an increase or decrease in muscle tone, it also improves overall fitness, exercise tolerance and communication skills.
Rebound Therapy is one of the most popular activities for disabled children of every age. Delivered in hourly one-to-one and group sessions over 12 weeks, it involves an assessment and programme using trampolines for enhanced movement patterns, therapeutic positioning, exercise and recreation.

Rebound Therapy is suitable for many children and young people but for some conditions there is an increased risk. Rebound Therapy is not suitable for those who are pregnant or have spinal rods, Brittle Bones Disease, detaching retinas, confirmed Atlanto Axial Instability or Dwarfism.
Children benefit from Rebound Therapy in many different ways. For some children it will be of physical benefit, for some it will be of sensory benefit and for others it will be a calming experience. We will work with you and your child to look at how rebound therapy can best help.
Our Rebound Therapy sessions are for 1 hour but the time spent on the trampoline can vary for every child depending on their need. After the initial assessment, if Rebound Therapy is suitable and a session time is available you will be offered a regular weekly session for a period of 12 weeks.
There are lots of ways to help Rainbow Hub. Take on a challenge, do your own event, volunteer at one of ours, sign up or make a single ‘quick click’ donation. Whatever you do, it will brighten the lives of more disabled children and young people.
