This practice evaluation paper will present the case for the use of trampolining as a therapeutic activity within an acute care setting for people experiencing mental ill-health. A brief history of this activity within a therapeutic context will be outlined and a theoretically analysed rationale for the development of trampoline sessions explained. A case vignette will illustrate the argument that trampolining is a realistic and therapeutic option for people who need the care of a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or Low Secure Unit (LSU). The paper will conclude that service users can find trampoline activity useful as part of a recovery journey from acute mental illness.
