In episode #57 of the podcast, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy talk briefly about blood flow restriction (BFR) training including the science behind it, safety considerations, dosing of exercises and...
mostra másThey also talk about some of the principles and variables to consider with BFR training including occlusion pressure (i.e., how much blood flow is restricted), training sets and repetitions, placement of the cuff, and exercise selection. Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy introduce the use of BFR with certain orthopedic procedures and treatment that falls under the category of “orthobiologics,” or the use of biologic agents to leverage a tissue healing response. Orthobiologics can include stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP), and hyaluronic acid injections and Dr. Kacy briefly discusses what goes into the preparation of PRP treatments. Dr. Kate also mentions some fascinating research about not only the local muscle effects, but systemic effects of BFR including improving strength and conditioning in the contralateral limb!
Dr. Kate and Kacy also include some important information on safety considerations with BFR and talk about the use of a less safe form of BFR sometimes seen in gym settings that includes the use of bands that don’t register occlusion pressure and so do not standardize how much blood flow is going to the arm or leg. They recommend only using devices that monitor occlusion pressure for safety, and as Kate says, “Don’t chase the pump!” If you have been curious about BFR and interested in learning more, this episode is for you!
