One man in particular the President of Houck Industries, Inc. of Tulare, California had incorporated many rebounding units into his work place!  At first he bought a rebounding unit for himself.  After seeing the benefits that it had on his own body, he decided it was something his factory employees would enjoy.  He requested Al Carter (mentioned above) from The National Institute of Rebounding and Health to come and teach the employees about the new miracle tool.  Eventually Mr. Houck bought fifty two rebound units.  He encouraged all of his employees to use them.  All of the employees who used these units were less stressed, productivity on the job improved and the employees spirits were uplifted.  Blood pressure dropped and other health benefits were found to be achieved by all of those employees.
