BFR DEMAND IS GROWING - ARE YOU READY?

Had a great day instructing 23 physical therapists of Twinboro Physical Therapy on the most up to date #BFRTraining information in North Brunswick, NJ. We were able to integrate our online course into the didactic material and I was able to expand upon each module afterwards to give a more nuanced take and answer live Q&As along with discussing our new recently accepted publication. It was a really good launch for this 9 hour hybrid training course - something no education company is doing (that I am aware of!).

Thanks again Twinboro Physical Therapy for your trust!

23 NEW BFR PROVIDERS!

BFR - NOT IF, IT'S WHEN!

NEW STUDY ALERT

Chronic atrophy of the muscles surrounding the knee is common following orthopedic surgery. Many individuals go through rehab in hopes of achieving their pre-surgical limb strength and size but unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't go. as planned. A recently published case series by Noyes et al. (2021) highlights the potential impact of blood flow restriction training in a convincing manner. This study is even more important considering the group publishing heads a large orthopedic rehab facility and is well known in the orthopedic community.

27 patients were enrolled in this study where they underwent an average of 5.3 months of standardized physical therapy and still did not have adequate hamstring ((38% +/- 14% (20-66%) deficit compared to uninjured side) and quadriceps (43 +/- 16% (20-76%) deficit) strength. Enrolled patients were from a variety of orthopedic surgeries (see next slide). Each underwent 9- or 18 supervised PT sessions 2-3x/week performing leg press, hamstring curls, leg extensions and mini squats at 25-35% 1RM using a smartcuff gen 2 cuff at 60-80% LOP.

After 9 sessions, a > 10% increase in muscle strength occurred in quadriceps and hamstrings peak torque in 69% and 75% of patients while after 18 sessions, a >= 20% increase was observed in 86% and 76% of patients. Further, patient satisfaction was tremendous at 8.9/10 average. This shows BFR was well tolerated and beneficial in producing changes in muscle strength of the affected limb.

Their conclusion stated above is one of the many reasons why blood flow restriction training is growing and is HERE TO STAY!

This isn’t just another BFR article…

I recently had the pleasure of teaming up with @thehpm of @thebfrpros to co-author one of the most comprehensive and easily applicable pieces of BFR content available. Think BFR is only useful when recovering from injury or trying to get a pump? Think again!
.
In this article, we cover BFR training considerations for:
-Powerlifters
-Bodybuilders
-Olympic weight lifters
-Pain modulation and injury management
-Ischemic preconditioning
-Endurance athletes
.
We don’t stop there! We also offer sample programs for the above mentioned athletes in order to bring theory to practice!
.
Like I said…this isn’t just another BFR article…
.
Check it out over at the @thebarbellphysio blog!

Remember…the decision to use BFR, or any treatment for that matter, should be based on the pillars of evidence-based practice. BFR can be a useful tool for certain individuals at certain times, but it is certainly not something that is necessary to make progress toward your goals. If you’d like some more information on some of the potential benefits of BFR, don’t hesitate to reach out!

NEW PUBLICATION

This letter to the editor recently published with my colleague @msccerqueira comments on some of the issues in a recent systematic review published by Nitzsche (2021) in Clinical Rehabilitation that sought to investigate the differences in strength outcomes between open/closed chain exercises in comparison to low-load with-/without BFR and high-load strength training.

Briefly, these issues stem from vague inclusion/exclusion criteria, improperly meta-analyzed studies and conclusions that are not fully supported by the data.

Future research should have more stringent inclusion/exclusion criteria and account for exercise volume as a potential mediator for some of the benefits of low-load BFR training.
