    In recent years, Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training has been a popular research topic, especially in hypertrophy. This is due to the theory that mechanically occluding blood flow can induce similar physiological outcomes to traditional strength training whilst only requiring low weights.

    In this podcast Dan and Cam talk about the theory and mechanisms of BFR training and how we can adapt the use to different populations. In particular, the populations who are restricted in their capacity to load due to specific joints due to pain.

    Cam talks through how he used blood flood flow restriction with a client that was unable to complete heavier style strength training due to osteoarthritic changes in his knee. We delve into the rationale, application, considerations and outcomes that Cam and his client faced through their rehabilitation journey.
