We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our partnership with PAMIS Scotland, bringing the benefits of rebound therapy to families in Fife as part of an exciting new pilot project. This initiative builds on the success of our previous collaborations in Lanarkshire and Glasgow, where families experienced significant improvements in physical and emotional well-being through rebound therapy sessions.
Why Rebound Therapy?
Rebound therapy, which involves therapeutic exercises on a trampoline, has proven to be highly effective for individuals with disabilities. It offers a unique combination of physical activity and sensory play, promoting motor skills, balance, and overall physical health. Additionally, it provides a fun and engaging way for families to bond and create meaningful moments together.
Success in Lanarkshire and Glasgow
Our initial partnership with PAMIS Scotland began in Lanarkshire, spanning both North and South Lanarkshire local authority areas. This collaboration laid the foundation for our subsequent work in Glasgow, where families reported enhanced physical abilities, improved mood, and increased social interaction. The positive feedback and measurable outcomes from these trials have motivated us to extend these benefits to more communities across Scotland.
Why This Expansion Matters
The families in the Fife area face challenges that are not unlike those of our Lanarkshire & Glasgow families, but every community has its own unique needs and dynamics. PAMIS recognised that this area had been underserved in terms of activities and support tailored to the needs of individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Through their successful grant application, they’re making sure that local families now have access to the services they deserve, including 1:1 rebound therapy.
Our taster sessions, designed to introduce local families to the therapeutic use of the trampoline, offer a safe space to learn about the benefits of rebound therapy and how to adapt sessions to each person's needs. These sessions allow families to explore this inclusive activity in a way that is accessible and engaging, without the pressure of committing right away. It’s an important first step in building trust and creating lasting connections with these families, who now know that they have more options for support available to them.
The positive response from these families has been overwhelming, and it’s clear that the need for our therapeutic activity services are significant. Families and teachers have shared how beneficial it is to have access to professional support in this area, and this feedback further validates our decision to expand our collaboration with PAMIS into this new geographical area.
Introducing Fife
As part of our commitment to expanding access to therapeutic services, we are launching a pilot project in Fife. This new initiative aims to replicate the success seen in Lanarkshire and Glasgow, offering tailored rebound therapy sessions to families in the area. We believe that this expansion will provide valuable support to individuals with disabilities and their families, fostering a sense of community and well-being.
