This 8-hour course covers the skills necessary to safely and effectively implement Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training. The course is set up in a “learn by doing” format in which participants will receive hands-on instruction in the proper use of BFR Equipment and Training. After understanding the history, research, physiology, and implications for use, attendees will put this into practice in supervised lab sessions. They will be exposed to exercise protocols and provided with resources to ensure safe training.
BFR is gaining popularity within the rehabilitation setting as its ability to increase muscle strength and size very quickly is well documented. BFR has also been shown to improve nervous system function, bone mineral density, and overall vascular health to name a few other benefits that are very applicable to individuals undergoing formal physical therapy. This course is appropriate for Physical Therapy Professionals as it addresses rehabilitation strategies for individuals seeking a safer way to increase muscle strength.
