Blood Flow Restriction EBP Ben Weatherford discusses how and why to use BFR. Posted by Sports Medicine Broadcast on Thursday, January 10, 2019

What is BFR?

According to the course objectives on ORS website:



Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR) is a paradigm shifting intervention for the rehabilitation professional with over 160 peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature. By applying a tourniquet briefly and intermittently to an exercising limb you can induce significant and substantial strength, hypertrophy and endurance changes while using a very light load. https://www.owensrecoveryscience.com/certification/

So what does it really feel like?

Not bad at all…at first

Then I agreed to do the Push-up Challenge like a BOSS

30, 15,15,15 – 75 total push-ups

And this is about where i admitted defeat and moved to the modified version

And later I could barely hold my arms up for the next sessions…

If I could afford the machine and training I would have these at my school.
