Show notes

Blood flow restriction training has been shown to be a safe and effective technique that has been performed for years.

The American Physical Therapy Association considers BFR to be within the scope of practice of physical therapists, but the state of New York has recently stated that it is not.

In this episode, we talk about this disappointing news and why not only should BFR be within our scope of practice, but why it's imperative that we can be allowed to perform this to maximize the safety and efficacy.

Altering Pain Free Movements - #AMR294 Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

A common theme right now is "there is no such thing as good or bad" movements.

I agree with this, to an extent, but certainly not all the time.
