Testimonials
"My husband loves it. He uses it every day that we are at home. I have a radio station that plays 70-80s music and he bounces for usually at least 20 minutes. Well made piece of equipment, I bounce too. Wish it was more portable so we could take it with us when we travel."

"I love the rebounder and find it easy to fit in a few minutes on it several times a day. I’m particularly working on my balance as I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet. The rebounder fits nicely into a corner of our bedroom, so it isn’t somewhere “out of sight; out of mind”. Thanks for your inquiry." Anne Corvallis, OR

As the owner and clinician of Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry - we care for children from birth onward and individuals with special needs of all ages. Since opening in 2017, we have seen the difference that the Health Bounce BPOD™ brings to a clinic! For parents to gently bounce holding their infants, providing them with comfort and love, reminiscent of when they were in their Mother’s womb. For all children and patients with special needs to bounce out their energy before and after appointments has been invaluable. Rebounding brings a sense of fun while at the same time provides an outlet for any anxious or nervous energy. We feel that every health care setting, especially ones that care for similar patient populations should have a BPOD™ in their space - we could not be happier!!”

"I am very happy with Health Bounce! I am becoming more flexible and walking better, and the neuropathy in my feet and ankle stiffness are slowly, but steadily going away. Also, I feel safe and secure while doing exercises."
Anita, Burnaby BC
I was diagnosed with ALS in 2010, and attribute a large part of my continued health and mobility to following a program of daily moderate exercise - - which includes rebounding on the Bpod. Using the Bpod helps my posture, balance, foot coordination and provides aerobic benefit as well. Also, because it is sturdy and has a safety hoop, I feel safe and secure while using it. Rebounding on the Bpod certainly lifts my mood and I feel young again!

Bouncing with Seniors
The Health Bounce BPOD™ is perfect for Senior Centres
Interested in setting up a new exercise program in your Senior Centre? With the Health Bounce BPOD™ it is a FUN, EASY, EFFECTIVE, & SAFE routine due to the "C" surround that the user can hold while exercising. This "C" surround moves with the user to provide safety and the ability to do exercises with confidence.
Besides the fact that rebounding has amazing health benefits for all, it is also a great exercise & social opportunity for seniors, as you can see from the videos below. A NASA study shows that rebounding using the Health bounce is 68% more effective than jogging! Seniors are often limited in their ability to exercise due to balance issues, joint pain, weakness, and lack of energy. Rebounding with the BPOD™ is a game changer as it is a safe and fun exercise that can help with a lot of the health problems seniors are dealing with.
Contact us for details on how we can help you with this opportunity for YOUR Centre.

The following is an excerpt from Peter Mark's book:
AUTISM & OTHER DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, Balancing Body, Brain & Being
All Children Love to Bounce!
Brain Balancing and Coherence
A recent study (Piochon et al., 2014) shows that the cerebellum - the motor and coordination centre of the brain - is not functioning well in many children with Autism. Exercises such as Bosu bouncing strengthen the cerebellum. Using stabilizing and Bosu balls, balance beams and elliptical cushions increases brain cerebellum activation and therefore improves brain energy balance and coherence. The cerebellum, one of the most common sites of anatomic abnormalities in ASD, is particularly implicated in problems with connectivity and coordination of cognitive functions.
Bouncing a
nd balancing exercises significantly improve the brain's energy system. This improvement seems to bring less confusion, more coherence and cognition, and therefore less maladaptive behaviour.
Rebounders give critical stimulation for healthy brain functioning, do in part to activation of the cerebellum.
The 5' BPOD model allows for use as a standing rebounder or a wheelchair. Even while sitting you can get the same health benefits of rebounding. The 5' model comes complete with wheelchair straps and also the "C" hoop for use while standing. A ramp is also available. Power wheelchairs cannot be used.

A review by the Mayo Clinic (Ahlskog et al., 2011) demonstrated that of more than 1600 scientific papers on the effectiveness of exercise and cognition, there was profound positive effect of exercise on keeping our brains growing rather than eroding with age, making us smarter and allowing us to use our brain most effectively. T.Hamlin, 2015, Autism and the Stress Effect

Alfhild Akselen, Ph.D., founder of the Texas Association of Children with Learning Disabilities, has found that “Learning disabled children have extremely poor coordination, balance and rhythm”. With over 40 years of experience in this field, Dr. Akselen found when she used Rebounding to improve these conditions the results were amazing! She is a true believer and the first pioneer of rebound exercise for children with special needs (n.d.).
Dr. Akselsen has seen some remarkable results from her rebounding therapy. Children who had been unable to express themselves during their first 15 years of life, having vocabulary of only a few words, were able, after a month or two of rebounding therapy, to speak in complete sentences and express their thoughts: “When the physical defect is corrected, the mental defect is also corrected”, concludes Dr. Akselsen (n.d).
