Metabolic stress is the primary mechanism for the beneficial muscular effects of BFR training. It helps explain why we get the same benefits but faster than load matched exercise.

WHAT'S NEW IN BFR 2021 LAUNCH!

We are excited to present the first of our annual BFR MASTERS WEBINAR® PLUS* “What’s New in BFR 2021?” presentation highlighting 5 important papers published in 2021 that help BFR providers in improving their understanding of the science behind the power of BFR.
Regardless of your BFR training certification, this webinar will build your confidence applying BFR training through in depth discussion of studies covering BFR safety screening, whether the amount of applied pressure matters, the degree of muscle activation with different pressures, how BFR can help the chronic atrophic post-surgical patient, and its unique ability to not only induce similar muscle mass as heavy load strength training but also tendinous adaptations.
Not only that, but earn 2 hours of PT/BOC CEUs by completing it. There's never been a better time to learn about blood flow restriction training and we've made it easy to get your CEUs with our affordable, industry leading coursework.
PS: Anyone who already purchased our 13-module introduction to BFR training course and is certified with us gets this for FREE! Simply e-mail Marty@thebfrpros.com with the subject "ACCESS TO WEBINAR" and we'll get you signed up.
*Webinar in name only. This webinar is a scripted video course with the highest level of production exceeding a traditional “webinar!”.

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION RESEARCH The research on b

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION RESEARCH

The research on blood flow restriction is continuing to accelerate at a rapid, near exponential rate because it is not only EFFECTIVE at what it's supposed to do (increase muscle mass/strength with light loads in less time), but we're also learning other areas where it is looking to be extremely effective such as improving cardiovascular endurance at very low intensities (Park, 2014), producing significant post-exercise hypoalgesia (pain relief) (Hughes, 2020,2021), similar morphological tendon changes as heavy load strength training (Centner, 2019, 2021), and even preserving post-surgical bone mass following ACL reconstruction where traditional approaches have FAILED (Day, 2022).

It just so happens that the indications for blood flow restriction include an inability to load heavier or the presence of significant muscle/joint pain (Rolnick, 2021) - two huge areas that perfectly align within the scope of practice of physical therapists - something that the APTA recognized in 2018.

Since 2018, hundreds of more papers have been produced that have now expanded the findings to clinical populations...all of which have been extremely well tolerated even in very at risk populations such as those with chronic kidney disease (Rolnick, 2022). In fact, multiple publications have been produced to help the clinician reduce the potential for adverse events with BFR training (Patterson, 2019; Rolnick, 2021; Nascimento, 2022).

So when someone tells you that physical therapists should not be allowed to do blood flow restriction - I ask - then who is better positioned to take on this modality to get people back to the activities they love as quickly as possible?
