Blood Flow Restriction Exercise in People with Parkinson's with Annie Bane, PhD

In this episode of the Owens Recovery Science podcast, Johnny and Kyle interview Annie Bane, PhD regarding her research into people with Parkinson’s Disease and the use of Blood Flow Restriction Resistance Exercise as a maintenance strategy. Dr. Bane is a wealth of knowledge on how treatment strategies and the disease progression of PD affect the cardiovascular system. This was ultimately the target of her dissertation research while at Baylor and her findings are very exciting. We know you will enjoy this chat!
