Additional Needs and Disability Gymnastics

Regis Gymnastics has a track record of inclusivity, from our little Gym Joeys to Squad and Freestyle. Whereever possible we try to include people with additional needs into our mainstream sessions.

For those with more profound needs or who struggle with busy / structured sessions we have limited availability for 121 sessions that better meet individual needs.

Rebound Therapy
We also offer bookable Rebound Therapy sessions. This is a form of physical therapy which uses the trampoline to provide an enjoyable sensory experience and enable people with more profound disabilities to access gymnastics.

Examples of benefits include:

• Cerebral Palsy – the oscillation of the trampoline can aid hypertonia
• Cystic Fibrosis – Using the trampoline is a more efficient and fun way to undertake the regular physiotherapy required
• Wheelchair users – the trampoline movement aids circulation, digestion, toileting and stimulates movement in the internal organs
• Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Challenging Behaviours – Sessions can be conducted individually. The process of the therapy encourages social interaction and users often become more animated and vocal on the trampoline.

Funding for treatment may be available from the NHS or other grant making bodies. We welcome enquiries from carers, schools, social services and other organisations working with disabled people.
