    recommended rebounder for CFS sufferer

    Hi all,
    I signed up to post this question.
    I am a CFS/M.E patient currently undergoing Perrin Technique which i have started to respond to positively (still painful!). I am looking to purchase a rebounder around the £200 pound mark and i need recommendations from professionals that use them. As well as myself their will be my Mother who has various conditions, arthritis, possible fibromyalgia and CFS, and she recently twisted her knee, no broken bones but we are waiting on an MRI scan to see if anything other then bones are damaged. Anyway i digress as i will make sure she uses the rebounder very very gently. Of more importance is something to keep my lymphatic system moving and to lose my sister some weight.

    I have looked at in my price range:
    Trimilin med plus
    urban rebounder or its business version the pro gym rebounder.
    I have discounted the Reboundair despite its lifetime guarantee because of price and complaints about high foot pronation because of the soft bounce.

    Please help their is little to no concrete information on this for UK rebounders and its a lot of money.
    Thankyou!

    Don't discount walking as a great exercise that also gets the lymph moving. You don't need to tie your future gains to a piece of equipment.

    Indeed we are trying to walk on a regular basis, we are lucky enough to live in surrey so their is plenty of countryside. But we are also keen on getting a rebounder as it looks a fun low impact exercise, and the convenience is that we can use it indoors, the cold weather in England is abysmal (no doubt you have much worse in Canada!) and really gets into my muscles.

    Were not under any illusions just want to give it a try. Cheers.

    Incidentally my current goal is to study to be an OT and come over to Canada on a skilled visa! It looks like a stunning country. People are always banging on about australia or new zealand but for some reason i have always romantised the Canadian wilderness since i was little.

    I can increase my budget but rebounders around the £200 mark really look good enough I just need to know which is trusted, durable and has good customer service. Yesterday was my first time hearing about trimilin but apparently they are popular in europe and the uk. The urban rebounder is supposed to be very exceptional for its price and performance but has no durability, no doubt the pro gym version for professional bussinesses deals with that problem?

    Hey, Good luck with your studies!

    And that is too funny. Because Canadians always want to go to Australia and New Zealand as you mentioned. But we find the reverse is true too, as we have a very high rate of Australians and New Zealanders heading to BC to find work on a work visa, so they can ski and enjoy the scenery.

    I'm not too up on the rebounder scene. So hopefully someone else will reply with some good info for you.
