What you are looking for is a Needak Rebounder...totally different
animal from a regular mini-tramp. And yes it is fairly expensive, but
if you are not in great health you can do what I think they call the
"health bounce" which moves lymphatic fluid and requires very, very
little effort. I have one and wouldn't trade it. I am using it to get
some strength back after nearly a year of spending most of my day in bed.

If you do a search you'll find a ton of information, many articles, on
both the benefits of rebounding, AND the dangers of rebounding on a
mini tramp. On a mini trampoline is a "great" way to damage your
feet, ankles, and knees. DON'T DO IT!!! But there is no better
excercise than rebounding on a good "rebounder" - the kind that
usually cost at least 300 bucks and have the right kind of springs and
material. I'm not sure how the giant backyard ones measure in this
equation - have no experience with them and haven't researched them.
Probably, almost certainly, better than the cheap minitramps. But I'm
sure there is a range of quality with them as well, some better
absorbing and cushioning the stress of the landing than others. Sara
Marshall,
Some time ago someone on this list gave information on a doctor who
advises rebounding but NOT with a mini trampoline. Do you or someone
else have his name or the article?
Thanks Mary
