A rebounder is a mini trampoline that uses bounce and movement to improve balance, posture, core strength, and endurance. Rebounder physical therapy involves exercises performed on the rebounder and can be used to treat many different injuries.
For today’s video I’m using the FED Fitness BCAN BT4 Soft Land Pro Rebounder.
Some common injuries physical therapy on a mini-tramploine can help with include injuries to the shoulder, ankle, hip, knee, and back. It can also help with recovering after a stroke and with Parkinson’s disease.
Here are some of the other things using a rebounder for physical therapy can help with:
• Strengthens the core, leg, gluteal, and lower back muscles
• Stimulates the lymphatic system
• Improves balance, coordination, flexibility, and overall motor skills
• Helps with pelvic floor health as bouncing works muscles of the deep core that help prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints
• Increased sensory integration and spatial awareness
Some of the most common accidents and injuries happen doing everyday activities. Walking, getting in and out of the shower, and even going up and down stairs can be dangerous for people with limited mobility. These simple exercises should help prevent these types of injuries.
When it’s hard to take a deep breath, it can often be from tight chest and pec muscles from poor posture. These simple breathing exercises should help open up the chest area to help you breathe better.
