"Owens BFR training was one of the best aspects of my recovery. As both a limb salvage and amputee patient my consistent use of the BFR training facilitated an amazing growth in my strength and balance. I couldn't recommend this training, or Owens, stronger to anyone.”

Ryan Keogh CPT (R) 3rd Battalion - 75th Ranger Regiment

“Blood Flow Restriction therapy is one of the biggest advances for our injured service members from the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has helped many wounded warriors regain the high quality of life to which they are accustomed. Just as importantly, it is easily transferable to the civilian community, where it can provide benefit to thousands of people who are struggling to recover from their injuries. I am proud that something that was born from the need to help service members recover from catastrophic, life-changing injures, can now benefit the American public, who have shown such great support for our military heroes.”

COL Donald A Gajewski Former Director Center for the Intrepid Brooke Army Medical Center

“Blood Flow Restriction has the unique benefit of enhancing and exciting the targeted muscle so that those with muscle inhibition can overcome this deficit quicker, with less atrophy development. We are excited to be onboard with the initial use of this great innovative treatment and device.”

Russ Paine, PT Ironman Sports Medicine Institute - Memorial Hermann

“I have seen great gains in strength with patients in the clinic and with professional athletes using Blood Flow Restriction training. This tool has been an influential game changer in my practice”.

Steve Scher Detroit Lions - Team Rehabilitation

“Blood flow restriction training has been a huge compliment to the medical and performance care of our athletes. Having athletes perform exercise earlier during the rehab process and allowing them to take ownership of their training has been extremely successful toward helping our athletes miss the least amount of time possible from injury. I just wish I knew about blood flow restriction training sooner!”

Chris Stackpole, DPT, ATC, CSCS Portland Trailblazers - Director of Player Health and Performance

“Johnny Owens teaching Blood Flow Restriction Training to us was invaluable. It is one of the biggest game changers in rehabilitation.”

Geoff Kaplan, Houston Texans

Course Objectives

Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR) is a paradigm shifting intervention for the rehabilitation professional with over 160 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 the course clinicians will:

• Translate 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.
