A trampoline club in Cardiff are\u00a0helping people with disabilities regain their bounce.<\/p>\n

Rebounders<\/a>, a trampoline club situated near Cardiff bay, is not your average club. They help people with physical and learning disabilities through fun, therapeutic trampoline classes, enabling members to learn new skills and have fun at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cardiff centre manager Lorna Fuller, 25, explained what makes them different from typical trampoline parks; they provide specialist trampolining, and all their coaches are qualified in rebound therapy and disabled trampolining. Whereas at a trampoline park you would be left to run around, at Rebounders<\/a> they do one to one specialised sessions with their members. Lorna says, \u201cThey are learning skills that they need and are also having fun whilst doing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Sargent, 53, is a parent who brings his son Tom to Rebounders<\/a> every week. He explained that Tom has cerebral palsy, so a lot of his muscles don\u2019t work in the right way and he is unable to\u00a0coordinate them properly. Rebound therapy, Chris said, helps Tom with his balance, coordination and core stability. When talking about what Tom thinks of the sessions, he says, \u201cTom gets quite a lot from coming along to Rebounders<\/a> because it\u2019s like a physio session that\u2019s enjoyable and fun. And he doesn\u2019t realise that he\u2019s actually getting benefit out of it as well!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
