Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR) is a paradigm shifting intervention for the rehabilitation professional with hundreds of peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature. By applying a tourniquet briefly and intermittently to an exercising limb you can induce significant and substantial strength, hypertrophy and endurance changes while using a very light load. By attending this one day training course for PBFR training, clinicians will be able to:
- Communicate the physiology behind mechanical tension compared to metabolic accumulation training and the downstream effects.
- Manipulate blood flow restriction protocols to create a local or systemic response within the soft tissues.
- Differentiate limb occlusion pressures objectively for each individual athlete/patient.
- Translate appropriate tourniquet safety measures to the outpatient/training room setting.
- Recommend and implement a rehabilitation blood flow restriction protocol for patients after injury or surgery.
UPDATED COURSE INFORMATION
To ensure the safety of course participants and Owens Recovery Science (ORS) staff, all attendees are expected to comply with current CDC guidelines and host site protocols regarding masks, hygiene, and distancing when attending an ORS certification course.

I have seen great gains in strength from patients in the clinic to professional athletes in approximately 3-4 weeks using Blood Flow Restriction. This tool has been an influential game-changer in my practice. Steve Scher, Detroit Lions, Team Rehabilitation
