Bouncing on a trampoline or mini-trampoline uses gravity, acceleration, and deceleration to strengthen your muscles and joints, including your spine. Unlike running and jogging, you’re not exposed to joint-rattling impacts every time your foot lands on the trampoline. Your body will experience up to 1 1/2 times normal gravity, but it’s low impact as the bouncing surface absorbs the impact. Rebounding strengthens all bones, including the spine, and helps move spinal fluid and remove cellular debris for better health.
reduce the voltage
A stiff back can inhibit your movement and make you feel tired. Gently bouncing on a mini-trampoline can help loosen your spinal joints and relax tight back muscles. Bouncing on a vaulter also helps improve balance and align your spine, as your back muscles are constantly adjusting to maintain your balance. Strengthening your back muscles through rebounding also helps stabilize your spine.
bone health
Low-impact exercise, like jumping on a mini trampoline, helps strengthen bones and improve and maintain bone health. People with osteoporosis may develop a rounded back due to the softening of the bones in the spine. Rebounding can also help prevent and reverse the effects of osteoporosis. Rebounding is safer and more efficient at restoring bones and preventing bone loss than running or jogging. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, see your doctor and follow their advice on exercise and rebounding.
cerebrospinal fluid movement
Any exercise will help move the spinal fluid, but rebounding is a low-impact way to move the spinal fluid with a low risk of injury. The body’s reaction to bouncing up and down with increased gravitational force stimulates the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal column and moves lymphatic fluids throughout the body. The movement of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and in the spinal column helps transport nutrients to the spinal column and brain and facilitates the removal of cellular waste.
Safety
A mini rebounder trampoline is not a toy and should not be used by children. Keep your jumper out of the reach of children. Do not attempt tricks or high bounces on a trampoline. Falls from a mini-trampoline can cause serious injury. Always check your rebounder for cracks, fraying, or damaged springs. Use a bouncer only on a level surface away from low hanging lamps and ceiling fans. Make sure there are no objects under or around the bouncer before jumping. Wear non-slip shoes or socks when bouncing to prevent falls. Check with your doctor to make sure you’re healthy enough to use a mini-trampoline for exercise. Never use a jumper with another person. If you become dizzy or disoriented, bend your knees to stop bouncing and wait until the dizziness subsides before continuing the exercise.
