Working in that place leads to restriction that's reactive (2,3,7)

I believe the answer is:

on the rebound

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reactive' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'working in that place leads to restriction' is the wordplay.
'working' becomes 'on' (on can mean working or activated).
'in that place' becomes 'there' (over there).
'leads to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'restriction' becomes 'bound' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on'+'there'+'bound'='ON THE REBOUND'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on the rebound that I've seen before include "after an emotional upset" , "While recovering from rejection etc" , "Distressed after the breakup of a relationship?" , "Bouncing back" , "How a double is made in snooker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
