Fujita et al. showed that performing knee extensions at 20% of 1RM with BFR significantly increased muscle protein synthesis (MPS), blood lactate, and Growth Hormone (GH). #physicaltherapy #rethinkrehab #pbfr #earnyourdeflate #athletictraining

Loss of strength as we age is becoming (or is) one of the biggest indicators of disability. In a study using older men, the BFR group had a significant increase in lactate, growth hormone, and muscle protein synthesis. #PBFR #rethinkrehab #physicaltherapy #earnyourdeflate

Dr. Day, "The therapy should be prescribed by a trained practitioner using a surgical-grade tourniquet with personalized blood flow restriction capabilities. View the full text at hubs.ly/H0dxtmD0 . #pbfr #physicaltherapy #rethinkrehab #earnyourdeflate #arthroscopy

Thanks Paul!

It was an honor to train the crew at Henry Mayo Fitness and Health this past weekend. Great crew of clinicians that can now implement PBFR in their rehab programming! #earnyourdeflate #rethinkrehab #physicaltherapy #athletictraining #pbfr #bloodflowrestriction

After ACL, there is rapid and persistent atrophy of the quad. Loss of muscle prior to surgery and resistance to change with light load highlights a need to target the muscle prior to surgery. Make sure the stimulus an effective one. #pbfr #physicaltherapy #rethinkrehab #acl

New paper on VTE and #BFR from our friends Sanford Health, very thoughtful and well written. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30208794

Johnny was recently featured on the Broken to Unbroken podcast with Nick Askey. Give it a listen to get some additional information on Personalized Blood Flow Restriction. hubs.ly/H0f12K70 #pbfr #bloodflowrestriction #physicaltherapy #rethinkrehab

Applying a tourniquet with passive ROM can help attenuate the muscle dump that ensues with an alteration in activity levels. Here, it was applied to patients in the ICU to see if there was less loss with inactivity.#pbfr #anabolicresistance #physicaltherapy #bloodflowrestriction

We had a great course with Illinois Bone and Joint Institute this weekend. Great group of clinicians, ready to improve patient outcomes. To learn more or register for a course, visit owensrecoveryscience.com #physicaltherapy #pbfr #bfr #bloodflowrestriction #rethinkrehab

Nice paper discusses the role of inflammation and immune cells in skeletal muscle remodelling with BFR training. Free download too. researchgate.net/publication/32…

"A BFR system that automatically adjusts pressure during exercise and causes reduced perceptual and MAP responses is likely the most beneficial clinical tool that may positively influence patient tolerance and adherence to a BFR rehab program." #PBFR #BFR #bloodflowrestriction

Most popular booth as usual. Blocking traffic. #TPTA2018 #PBFR #owensrecoveryscience

When compared low load, BFR has a greater effect on muscle size and strength in the elderly. "Interestingly, even during intensities as low as walking, BFR enhances strength and muscle mass adaptations in older subjects..." #physicaltherapy #PBFR #bloodflowrestriction #sarcopenia

There is still time to get PBFR certified in 2018. Join us in Ankeny Iowa for the last open course of 2018. For a full list of upcoming courses and what’s available in 2019, visit owensrecoveryscience.com. #PhysicalTherapy #BloodFlowRestriction #BFR #PBFR #RethinkRehab
