""Another exercise recommended by some specialists is rebounding. This is a mini-trampoline, preferably with a stability bar.
Rebounding can be especially useful to those who can't do regular exercise because of mobility issues or joint pain. It can also be a good alternative to water exercise, cycling, or yoga for those who have barriers to those activities.
In rebounding, the woman stands on the mini-trampoline, holding on to the stability bar, and gently bounces or "surges" up and down for a few minutes without the feet actually leaving the trampoline.

According to one source, rebounding is particularly helpful because:
Rebounding (mini-trampoline) causes core muscles and large muscle groups to contract, resulting in the rhythmic compression of the veins and arteries, which more effectively moves fluids, both blood and lymphatic, through the body and back to the heart, lowering peripheral blood pressure and lightening the heart's load...
The up and down motion effectively opens and closes the millions of one-way valves found within our Lymphatic Systems...Most of our valves are positioned vertically, hence vertical motion is favorable simply due to our anatomy. For example, interstitial fluid from the lower extremity is moved upward where it is filtered and finally drained back into the blood in a particular location, up at the clavicle level. ("Thoracic Duct" of the Lymphatic System, our internal vacuum cleaner.)"
