Thank you to Owens Recovery Science for coming to Mammoth to train and certify our Athletic Trainers and Physical Therapist in blood flow restriction (BFR). As you can see in the pictures, our athletic trainers tried several applications of the BFR to get a good sense of what our patients will be experiencing during their therapy treatments. The ORS website discuss the indications for Blood Flow Restriction therapy use are:

Diminish atrophy and loss of strength from disuse and non-weight bearing after injuriesIncrease strength with only 30% loadsIncrease hypertrophy with only 30% loadsImprove muscle endurance in 1/3 the timeImprove muscle protein synthesis in the elderlyImprove strength and hypertrophy after surgery Improve muscle activation Increase growth hormone responses

This treatment will soon be available in our Mammoth Hospital Physical Therapy departments.
