Flexi-Bounce Therapy is the use of an orthopaedic quality rebounder as a complement to Rebound Therapy. It is used to provide therapeutic exercise for children and adults across a wide range of additional needs.

Most teachers and care staff who provide Rebound Therapy, know of the benefits and would like to be able to provide it on a daily basis. A common issue for many special needs schools and centres is that they can only provide Rebound Therapy sessions once or twice a week due to their number of students and only having one or two full sized trampolines. And during holiday times, sessions stop altogether.
Some schools and centres are not able to provide Rebound Therapy at all because they do not have the budget or space for a full sized trampoline.
Flexi-Bounce Therapy is the answer to this dilemma.
