In this episode of BFR Radio, we dive into the challenges of managing tendon pain, focusing on Osgood-Schlatter disease and patellar tendonitis.


Inspired by a recent conversation with a parent whose child faces knee issues in volleyball, Chris explores evidence-based treatments that go beyond traditional approaches. Whether you're dealing with adolescent athletes or adults with tendon pain, learn how to incorporate isometric exercises, red light therapy, patella tendon straps, and blood flow restriction (BFR) training into recovery.


From progressive strengthening to nutritional supplements and BFR's low-load benefits, this episode offers valuable insights into promoting long-term tendon health. This is a practical, "how-to" episode with lots of great takeaways.
