Protecting the Integrity of Rebound Therapy
This may not be our most exciting post — but it’s an important one.
As part of our government agency-backed accreditation, and in order to award internationally recognised CPD points, we are required to periodically reaffirm the authenticity of our training and protect the Rebound Therapy name from misuse and 'passing off'.
What is “passing off”?
“Passing off” is a legal term used when an organisation falsely implies an association with another recognised organisation, brand, or accredited service.
In this context, it ensures that only officially approved Rebound Therapy training is promoted and delivered as authentic Rebound Therapy.
Thankfully, this has rarely been an issue. The professional community widely recognises that Rebound Therapy was founded over 50 years ago by Eddy Anderson, who — together with the team at ReboundTherapy.org — has continued to develop and evolve the discipline ever since.
However, from time to time, we become aware of courses using the term “Rebound Therapy” in their titles despite having no official accreditation or validation. The CPD authority takes these matters seriously and has previously acted against unapproved providers.
When booking training for yourself or your organisation, please ensure you are choosing an authentic course run by ReboundTherapy.org or one of their validated and licensed providers. Further information is available on our website. https://www.reboundtherapy.org/about
Official Statement on Authenticity
The Rebound Therapy Organisation (ReboundTherapy.org) was founded in 1972 by Eddy Anderson — remedial gymnast, physiotherapist, and headteacher. Eddy coined the term “Rebound Therapy” and developed the original training course in partnership with the Cleveland Education Authority.
Over the past 54 years, the course has been continually developed by Eddy and his team, gaining national and international recognition and accreditation.
✅ Only tutors validated by ReboundTherapy.org deliver the authentic training course, which is government-agency approved and awards 20 internationally recognised CPD points.
✅ Every course certificate includes an official Rebound Therapy Institute (RTI) validation number, confirming authenticity. This is commonly required for professional liability insurance.
✅ The Rebound Therapy module within the Earwig academic progress recording system — used by many SEN schools — was developed in consultation with ReboundTherapy.org and is based exclusively on authentic course content.
