Owens Recovery ScienceThe Owens Recovery Science Podcast is your source Author: Johnny Owens
The Owens Recovery Science Podcast is your source for what's new and established in the blood flow restriction literature. Blood flow restriction training or BFR is an exercise technique used by many rehab and performance practitioners to increase muscle size, strength, and endurance through the use of lighter weights and lower intensities than originally thought necessary. Johnny Owens, PT and his team have trained more than 15,000 clinicians on how to integrate BFR into rehab and performance settings. In their podcast they keep you to date on the latest developments in the literature and innovation within the field.
