What Our Students Have To Say!
Would 100% Recommend!
"I chose to take The BFR Pros' blood flow restriction course over other companies such as Owens Recovery Science & Smart Tools because of how the former is continually staying up-to-date with emerging BFR research and implementing it into the course. I found the course material to be extremely thorough, ranging from topics such as exercise physiology & hypertrophy science to various clinical applications of blood flow restriction. I felt 100% confident in implementing the course’s teachings on Monday morning with my patients. Would 100% recommend."

Nick's knowledge base is exceptional!
"I have had the pleasure to work with Dr. Nicholas Rolnick using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training for my Sports Medicine PT office. He has provided training for myself and staff in the use of BFR along with the best application of using it. His knowledge base is exceptional which is highlighted by his ability to deliver the materiel in a concise and methodical manner. This modality is a game changer for getting your athletes and orthopaedic patients back stronger and at times faster. If considering implementing BFR into your practice, The BFR Pros and Dr Rolnick's years of experience and knowledge base is the way to go!"

Understanding of when BFR is best
The BFR Pros course led by Dr. Nicholas Rolnick was excellent. It helped me to gain a sound knowledge base for implementing Blood Flow Restriction in the clinic and the understanding of when BFR can be best utilized for optimal outcomes.
