Children with physical disabilities are challenged with moving around unlike other children. This causes them not to participate in all the activities which may affect their social nature and confidence.
Rebounding helps them to develop motor skills such as jumping, kneeling, walking etc.

Below are some of the benefits of rebounding for children with special needs.
- Build Self-Confidence
We’ve already established that jumping on a trampoline is fun! It also imparts a sense of wellbeing. There are a few things happening in the body to create this. First, is the release of endorphins, the “feel good” hormones to lift your moods, and to promote optimism and self-confidence. It also helps the body release dopamine, which can help kids feel more cheerful and alert. This makes a trampoline one of the most effective and playful tools for combating the effects of anxiety and improving impulse control. Then there’s the frequent rebounding improving blood circulation. This allows an abundance of fresh oxygen to the brain, promoting mental sharpness and focus. Cross patterning activities on the trampoline, where movement performed on one side of the body is repeated on the other side, enhances communications between to the 2 hemispheres of the brain. This improves mental capacity and is known to help children with reading and writing.
- Improve Co-Ordination, Posture and Balance
Regular rebounding conditions the body to react quickly and the amount of agility, balance and coordination required is high. Light bouncing and rebounding can help kids tune in to their bodies, improving their coordination and dexterity in different ways. Trampolines can also help them improve their posture and balance, giving them more control of their bodies and helping them understand their physical limits and possibilities. Agility, balance and coordination are skills that as they develop, will provide your child with more confidence in other areas of their life.
- Gain + Improve Fitness
Oxygen is the most vital nutrient for the human body. Jumping helps circulate oxygen throughout the body to increase energy. Regular jumping on the trampoline energizes your body and increases its resistance against colds, flus and other diseases. It’s a low-impact activity that’s great for light exercise and maintaining or improving physical fitness. Trampolines place less stress and impact on your joints compared to running or jogging, making it an ideal and fun exercise that can help develop muscles and improve fitness.
