What does RTI mean in REHABILITATION

Rebound Therapy is a form of physical therapy designed for children that have physical or mental disabilities. The program's goal is to improve physical fitness, social skills, coordination, balance, strength and self-esteem. It combines trampoline bouncing with various therapeutic activities in order to provide a supportive and fun environment for the development of motor skills.

Rebound Therapy works by utilizing the natural properties of the trampoline and its components to help create a safe and supportive environment for movement, sensory integration and learning. Specialized activities on the trampoline combine muscle strengthening and balance exercises with gross motor activities, as well as sensory exploration activities.

Rebound Therapy is suitable for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Cerebral Palsy (CP) and mobility issues.

Rebound Therapy is typically provided through therapists who hold certification from the Rebound Therapy Institute (RTI). RTI Certified instructors are qualified practitioners who have completed specific training in an established therapeutic trampolining scheme to ensure safety guidelines are met at all times during therapy sessions.

Yes! Safety is our number one priority at RTI - all certified instructors must adhere to stringent safety guidelines at all times during sessions. Each session includes comprehensive risk assessments based on the individual’s abilities along with any preexisting medical conditions in order to ensure risks are minimized to ensure a safe environment for therapy sessions.

Sessions typically last between 30-60 minutes depending on the age of participant(s), complexity of needs and scope of therapy being provided.

Yes! We recommend that participants bring their guardians or family members whenever possible so that they may observe their child/loved one’s progression throughout their therapy experience. As parents/guardians may be able to offer more insight into certain behaviors your child may exhibit throughout each session which can aid us in providing them with more effective adjustments if needed.

Loose fitting sportswear should be worn while participating in any rebound therapy session – baggy clothes will allow for better maneuverability while on the trampoline without restrictions on movement while performing exercises or activities during each session.

Each participant’s progress will vary dependent upon individual goals set forth by both therapist(s) and guardian(s). However progress can often be seen after just few weeks however results will become more evident closer towards completion of program.
