Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis, affect millions of people worldwide. While conventional treatments often focus on suppressing the immune system, alternative therapies like trampolining and rebounding have shown promise in reducing symptoms and promoting overall wellness. In this blog post, we'll explore the connection between rebounders, trampolines, and the lymphatic system and how they can be used to manage autoimmunity. But first, let’s talk about the lymphatic system.
The Lymphatic System and Autoimmunity:
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune function, detoxification, and inflammation reduction. However, in autoimmune diseases, the lymphatic system can become compromised, leading to impaired immune function and increased inflammation. Based on the National Institute of Health, “There are, however, hints that there might be lymphatic dysfunction in SLE, as there are case reports of chylous ascites or pleural effusions, lymph fluid found in the abdomen or thoracic cavity, respectively, that can result from lymphatic obstruction in the mesentery.” Whhhhattt?!
Isn’t this fascinating? This may explain why I no longer have pleurisy (inflammation of the lungs) since I have been focused on moving my lymphatic system! Fascinating. Now, let’s talk about a fun way to move the lymphatic system.
Trampolines and Rebounders: A Low-Impact Solution
Trampolines or rebounders, however you want to call it, offer a low-impact, gentle way to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation, and promote immune function.
Research has shown that rebounding can:
- Increase lymphatic flow and reduce inflammation
- Improve immune function and reduce oxidative stress
- Enhance detoxification and reduce autoimmune symptoms
Have you used the trampoline before? I used to bounce on one as a kid but once I learned about the benefits to help detoxify the body, I decided to invest in one at home. I did a few classes online with The Limit Fit and I had a ball y’all. It was so much fun to jump up and down while burning a good sweat. I try to jump on the rebounder for at least 10 minutes a day in the morning to feel the effects. It’s about being consistent, right? It has also help me manage a painful hiatal hernia.
Are you looking to try a rebounder class? You can invest in a mini trampoline here. Watch Genny have fun on the rebounder on IG.

Trampolines and rebounders offer a fun, low-impact way to manage autoimmunity by stimulating lymphatic flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting immune function. While more research is needed, the existing evidence suggests that incorporating trampolining or rebounding into your wellness routine may be a valuable adjunct therapy for autoimmune management, period.
