JOHNNY OWENS
MPT

Johnny Owens BS, MPT is CEO and Director of Clinical Education for Owens Recovery Science, a corporation recognized in the INC 500. He manages a research portfolio of over 40 clinical trials being conducted worldwide primarily studying the effects of Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation in clinical populations. He is the former Chief of Human Performance Optimization at the Center for the Intrepid (CFI) at San Antonio Military Medical Center and continues to serve as a consultant and clinical researcher at the CFI. He completed his undergraduate course work in Biology at The University of Texas at Austin and earned his Masters in Physical Therapy at The University of Texas Medical Branch. He serves as a medical consultant for teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and collegiate sports. He is involved in numerous clinical trials involving regenerative medicine, sports medicine, blood flow restriction and high-energy trauma. Owens has been published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature, regularly speaks at the national and international level and his work has been featured on 60 Minutes, Time Magazine, NPR, Discovery Channel and ESPN.

UTILIZING BEST PRACTICE IN AN EVER-CHANGING FIELD CAN BE DIZZYING AND INTIMIDATING. OWENS RECOVERY SCIENCE MAKES THE EVIDENCE CLEAR AND TEACHES THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE SCIENCE. SINCE TAKING THEIR COURSE ON BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION TRAINING, MY PRACTICE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY ALTERED. I UTILIZE BFR TRAINING ON PATIENTS THAT RANGE FROM POST-OPERATIVE TO CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY PAIN SYNDROMES. MY PATIENTS HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL, OUR REFERRAL LIST HAS GROWN, AND MY OUTCOMES WITH DIFFERENT PATIENT POPULATIONS HAVE GENERALLY IMPROVED. Dustin J Jesberger, PT, DPT -
