TOPICAL TIPS FOR BACK CARE &
REBOUNDING THROUGH REHABILITATION

Inflammation in the small joints and ligaments in your spine is eased when gently bouncing on quality rebounders , encouraging mobility and restricting pain from settling in.

Damaged discs, often result from carrying unacceptable loads. Your discs, which consist of mainly protein and water, depend on the exchange of nutrients and oxygen, from surrounding tissue, to nourish them.

Even when gently pulsing on a quality mini trampoline, the weight of your body creates hydrostatic pressure, with muscular pressure and your body weight squeezing fluid from the disc.

Osmotic pressure sucks fluid into your discs, helping to create a balance of the pressures at work.

About eight out of ten people are expected to suffer with back pain sometime in their lives. I recommend always seeking the advice of your medical practitioner before commencing your rebounding programmes.
