BFR in Kids!?!




Owens Recovery Science show

Summary: That’s right people!! Next to, “How the heck does this work above the cuff?” this is easily the most frequently asked question at our courses, “Is it safe in children?” In this episode we’ve got Adam Weaver, PT and Nick Giampetruzzi, PT from Connecticut Children’s, and Jeannie Graf, PT with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta on to discuss the research studies that they’re beginning very soon on BFR use following ACLR in adolescents. This is a fun one!! We hope you enjoy!
