Maybe not a preferred way to make friends… through rehab for post-operative ACL and arthroscopic knee surgeries 🤣.

But these two have been rehabbing in parallel and bring a strong energy and camaraderie to their physical therapy sessions!

⭐️ New this week for them: Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR).

BFR partially restricts blood flow to a targeted muscle group, uniquely stressing and fatiguing that muscle in order to stimulate muscle hypertrophy while still using a lower weight that is appropriate for whatever phase of rehab they are in. This can be especially helpful after knee surgeries. Bring on the straight leg raises, squats and step downs for those quads! 🦵🏻
