Our Team
Eddy Anderson

Founder of Rebound Therapy
Eddy is recognised as the founder, or as he is affectionately known, "The Godfather" of Rebound Therapy.
Eddy has been a paratrooper, a specialist exercise therapist in the RAF, a remedial gymnast, a physiotherapist and a qualified teacher, before becoming the headteacher of Springwell Special Needs School, where he developed the techniques for using the trampoline for therapeutic exercise for children with special needs.
Upon retiring from teaching, Eddy continued his work in Rebound Therapy by running training courses at the request of schools, NHS groups, adult groups and charity agencies. He has written several papers on Rebound Therapy, some of which are reproduced on this site in the "Papers and Publications" section. Other papers from a wide range of professionals experienced in Rebound Therapy are available on request as recommended supporting papers to those who have completed a staff training course. Eddy welcomes contributions of views, papers and dissertations from others for the benefit of the wider community.
Eddy is also the inventor of Sensafloat, a unique swimming support and flotation aid for people with profound and multiple impairments. Developed in the early 1990s, Sensafloat won the Toshiba/CBI Invention of the Year award in 1993.
