Welcome to episode 56.
I hope you enjoyed our last episode with Sean Jorgenson where he outlines how he uses BFR. It was full of practical ways to incorporate BFR into your own routine - no matter how busy you are.
This week, I have put together some of the questions that you have asked me. I find these have good application to everyone and I am sure you'll get lots of great handy hints with this one.
In this episode we are covering the following questions:
First question, "So, I had an ACL reco last week and am wanting to use my BFR cuffs to help with rehab. When would you say it is a few to start using it post-op?"
The next question, follows on the same theme from the previous.
"How would you structure BFR in a week? For example ACL early post operation, how much would you do in a week?"
This question is also very similar to another general BFR question, around how often can I use BFR in a week. Within this answer I expand and discuss how this concept can be used for BFR use in general and also I talk about a great warm-up protocol that you can incorporate to enhance your BFR sessions.
The last point, is not a question but rather is an easy-to-understand explanation of the mechanisms to how BFR can initiate the healing process with soft-tissue muscle injuries. I have seen some unbelievably quick healing times when incorporating BFR with muscle injuries and strains. With this, I try my best to explain how it works.
As always, if you have questions please ask. Only too happy to answer them.
Thanks for listening and remember to keep the pump.
Chris
