The rebound therapy intervention provided by BounceOT is not a trampolining sport. In the UK, ‘Rebound Therapy’ means the therapeutic use of the trampoline. It is distinct from gymnastic trampolining.

No, we offer 2 options for therapeutic play & rebound therapy bookings:

• Family Fun Sessions
• 1:1 Therapeutic Play Leader Sessions

No. There is not one specific organisation that people must go to in order to be trained in Rebound Therapy. Therefore, there is no requirement for anyone to undergo any training or accreditation with Rebound Therapy International Ltd (which appears to trade in the UK under the name ReboundTherapy.org)

No. Rebound Therapy is a method which has become widespread throughout the physiotherapy trade, and it is an indication used to refer to therapeutic use of a trampoline.

You can book the therapeutic play room for 1 hour, although you will need to leave 5-10 minutes early to allow us time to clean before the next booking arrives.

Family Fun sessions are where you get exclusive access to the therapeutic play space for up to 1 hour - you can bring up to 4 people to enjoy our autism friendly and wheelchair accessible space with specialist equipment.

There will not be BounceOT staff present to lead the activities, however, someone will be in our office next door in case of an emergency.

Please note, the on-call staff member could be a cleaner so there will not always be a Therapeutic Play Leader or Occupational Therapist onsite.

Alternatively, in 1:1 sessions you will come to see a specific member for targeted intervention.

You can come as a one-off, or more regular (depending on capacity within the timetable). We often have people attend weekly or fortnightly sessions.

Our OT support is a different service to regular rebound therapy sessions. It will depend on what you are looking for from the OT. You can speak with one of the team to help us understand what your needs, wants and/or expectations are.

Yes, we can do work in the community (e.g. at schools and leisure centers) - this can be for a short block, or ongoing – whatever is preferred.

For example, we have been facilitating 2 mornings per week of rebound therapy sessions at New Struan School in Alloa for over 6 years. Alternatively, some schools like Castleview Primary in Stirling typically like us to provide support for only a few weeks as part of a targeted block.

Yes, we offer bespoke training courses in rebound therapy for each school and/or service who would like us to train their staff.

For example - we have facilitated training for 4 people at one school in Glasgow, and 26 staff in London.

No, although, our Head Office and original therapeutic play space is in Stirling.

We have been working with schools and local charities across Central Scotland as part of new contracts or funded projects.

For example, we have been working in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, every Friday for over 2 years with PAMIS. Also, we have been delivering sessions 2x per week at New Struan School, in Alloa, for over 6 years.

Yes. You can book both Family Fun & 1:1 sessions online.

No. Rebound Therapy is the therapeutic use of the trampoline. It is distinct from gymnastic trampolining.

As rebound therapy is a method that has become widespread throughout the UK across Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy & Education – and there is no governing body for this activity in the UK – there is no such thing as rebound therapy insurance.

There is no requirement for BounceOT staff, or individuals trained in rebound therapy by BounceOT, to buy specific rebound therapy insurance.

As above, there is no such thing as rebound therapy insurance in the UK. Therefore, BounceOT has other comprehensive insurances in place for Complementary Therapists and Healthcare Professionals - specifically Occupational Therapy activities.

Yes, all our registered Occupational Therapists are regulated by HCPC (Health Care and Professions Council) and are members of RCOT (Royal College of Occupational Therapists).

In addition, all staff must take a full mandatory training programme, annual refreshers, monthly supervision, and participate in regular development days.

No, not for Family Fun sessions. We have risk assessed the environment and our Safety Rules will be emailed to you when you book online.

However, yes, you will need to be trained in rebound therapy if you intend to facilitate your own sessions at your own workplace.
