Welcome to episode #18 of the Princeton Spine and Joint Center Podcast. In this episode Dr. Scott Curtis, Sports Medicine Director at Princeton Spine and Joint Center, sat down with Nicole Cleffi, a blood flow restriction physical therapist from Robert Wood Johnson Physical Therapy and the topic of conversation was blood flow restriction physical therapy. They talked about this new form of technology being used in physical therapy, what it is, and certain patients who it's applicable for, and maybe some patients who its not so great for. They talked about some of the expected outcomes and how it could help patients both postoperatively and for nonoperative musculoskeletal issues. Enjoy! Full podcast episode here.

You had a ton of questions for Johnny Owens, our guest and leading personalized blood flow restriction training expert. This is not Johnny’s first go round on Therapy Insiders podcast. If you tuned in last year (here) you heard Johnny break down a lot of the science and research of blood flow restriction training. On this episode Johnny answers all your questions….seriously. Every question we received, got an answer (even a few beef brisket how-to’s). Listen to our full podcast here: https://updocmedia.com/podcast/bloodflowrestrictiontraining/

Johnny sits down with Drew Nutter of The Prosthetic Paradigm to discuss how blood flow restriction training can be utilized in rehab and focuses in on amputee care. He dives into the science and also the practicality of BFR therapy. Listen to the end to hear him talk about another of his endeavors, the IDEO. Check out the full podcast here to learn more about blood flow occlusion training for amputee care.

Johnny sits down with the Functional F1rst podcast and gives a great overview of blood flow restriction training and its use in the rehabilitation setting. This podcast covers a lot of ground, including: 

- The basics and science behind blood flow restriction 

- How to use it clinically 

- What patient populations can benefit from BFR training 

- Risks and contraindications 

- Future applications and research 

- And more!

January 21, 2015: Improving strength is a typical component of physical rehabilitation after injury. But often standing in the way of all the muscle building necessary to recover from an injury is the injury itself. While working at Brooke Army Medical Center, physical therapist Johnny Owens, PT, MPT, saw wounded warriors who needed to improve strength in injured limbs without further compromising vulnerable joints or soft tissue. So he and his colleagues began experimenting with a relatively new treatment method that’s gaining in popularity: blood flow restriction training, or BFR. The technique, which involves applying a tourniquet to an injured limb to partially restrict blood flow, allows patients to make greater strength gains while lifting lighter loads, thereby reducing the overall stress placed on the limb. In this episode of Move Forward Radio, Johnny Owens, MPT, describes how blood flow restriction training works, shares his vision for the potential of the technique within health care, and discusses where research is ongoing.

Johnny Owens, PT, is on the show today to talk Personalized Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training. He's been featured on ESPN, Discovery Channel, 60 Minutes, Time Magazine, and NPR. He's known for his work with veterans and professional athletes, but we're going to talk about his work with older adults. There's a lot of gems in this episode that I know you'll enjoy.

• How'd he get to where he is now?
• What research is he doing?
• How do you utilize BFR Training in rehab?
• How can older adults benefit from BFR?
• What would he say to every Geriatric Rehab Clinician?
