When rehabbing an athlete after an injury or surgery, there are lots of protocols that are out there and tools at the disposal of the physical therapist and athletic trainer. It can get overwhelming sometimes, especially for those of us as physicians who are diagnosing the problem but aren’t actual doing the rehab. I’m not sure if it’s me but it seems like in the last decade, compared to the first decade of my practice, I’m getting asked about using all sorts of different treatment methods for my patients in their rehab.
Blood Flow Restriction, or BFR, Training is one of those tools that seems to come up more often these days than not, and I get more and more requests to utilize it in my pediatric and adolescent aged patients. But where is the science for these patients and what do we know about BFR and its safety in kids? Does it help with patient outcomes? How exactly does it work? Today on the pod, we’ll cover these questions and more.
