They discuss how BFR can enhance strength and hypertrophy, when and how to use it safely, and its growing role across patient populations — from post-surgical athletes to older adults recovering from joint replacement.

Whether you’re curious about the evidence, the right equipment, or clinical pearls from years of hands-on experience, this episode offers insight into integrating BFR into your orthopedic toolkit.
