Have you heard of blood flow restriction training?
No? Ok, you’re in the right place. Is it the next “big thing” in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and physical therapy?
You had a ton of questions for Johnny Owens, our guest and leading 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).
