Learn why return to sport is a continuum—and why collaboration between the athlete, physical therapist, athletic trainer, physician, coaches, and other members of the sports medicine team matters.
Blood Flow Restriction Training in Physical Therapy: Why BFR Can Be Such a Powerful Tool in Rehabilitation
Blood flow restriction training can help athletes and active adults build strength and muscle when pain, surgery or tissue tolerance temporarily limits heavy resistance training. Learn how BFR works, where it fits in rehabilitation, and why it is best viewed as a bridge toward progressively higher levels of strength and performance.
Should Athletes Strength Train During Their Sports Season?
