  • When Johnny's indisposed the podcast gets hijacked by Kyle, Zac and Ben. Johnny's loss is your win essentially. In this episode we discuss two recent papers that further help to elucidate the efficacy and effectiveness of BFR in combination with aerobic exercise. Here are the two papers we reviewed:

    Smith, N. D. W., Girard, O., Scott, B. R., & Peiffer, J. J. (2024).

  • In this episode of the Owens Recovery Science podcast we chat with Laura Opstedal, PT of Build Physio in Bozeman, MT. Laura has extensive experience rehabbing Achilles repairs over the course of her career which provides her a first-hand perspective on the evolution of surgical techniques as well as integrating forms of measurement like force plates and novel treatment strategies like early weight bearing and BFR. Within we talk all things Achilles which apparently we’re now calling the Taylor Swift of tendons.You can find Laura at:[email protected]@build.physio on IG@thekhakifreept on IG@lauraopstedal on TwitterSome references from our ramblings:Baxter, J.

  • In this episode Johnny and Kyle talk with Adam Weaver, PT and Dylan Roman, PT of Connecticut Children’s. They were part of a team that recently published a paper in The Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine detailing the results of a trial they conducted using BFR following ACLR in adolescents (12-18 y/o’s).

    The title of their paper is: Early- and Late-Stage Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Knee Strength in Adolescents After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

  • We're very excited to announce that we are partnering with The POCUS PT to offer an introductory course to point of care ultrasound! This course will cover necessary basic science information regarding ultrasound and imaging of a wide range of structures from the cardiovascular system to the musculoskeletal system.

  • Well Kyle got his knickers in a bunch over an article’s title so we decided to talk about it for an hour or so. Within, Johnny, Ben, Zac, and Kyle talk about how they go about screening BFR papers to decide if they deserve a closer read. The paper that got this conversation going:* Grossl, F.

  • In this installment of the Owens Recovery Science podcast Johnny and Kyle interview Nicole Walter, PT. Nicole is a Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy with 20 years experience at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is the neurologic residency coordinator for Parkview and is adjunct faculty at Trine University. She has used BFR in a variety of neurological conditions and most recently presented some of their cases and research findings at APTA's Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego.

  • In this episode the guys chat about the use of creatine in conjunction with BFR resistance training. As usual they breakdown our current knowledge with an emphasis on safety and then get into the meat and potatoes of what has been shown in the BFR literature.

Thanks so much for listening and don’t hesitate to send us questions or topics you’d like to hear us cover.

    Some of the papers referenced in our answers:

  • This is one of our longer podcasts, but we cover a ton of ground here when it comes to space travel and the muscle, bone, and nervous system responses. Ultimately we’re curious how BFR might provide some solutions both for terrestrial life as well as for space travel and Dr. Luke Hughes helps us understand how BFR might fit into the picture. We hope you enjoy!!

  • In this newest episode Johnny and Kyle talk with Dr. Alex Franz from the Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery at the University Hospital of Bonn. We discuss Dr. Franz's extensive research in blood flow restriction exercise and how he's using that path to solve big problems in medicine! This conversation is pretty epic! You're sure to enjoy.

  • In this episode Johnny and the fellas discuss 4 papers where BFR did not work! What?!? How can that be???

    Well...gotta listen to find out!

    We begin by discussing briefly how hard research in medicine is...
    Here's a reference:
    Howick, J., Koletsi, D., Ioannidis, J. P. A., Madigan, C., Pandis, N., Loef, M., Walach, H., Sauer, S., Kleijnen, J., Seehra, J., Johnson, T., & Schmidt, S. (2022). Most healthcare interventions tested in Cochrane Reviews are not effective according to high quality evidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 148, 160–169.

    And here's a podcast discussing the paper:
    https://ptinquest.com/episode-250-most-healthcare-interventions-lack-high-quality-evidence/

    Here's the paper Zac describes:
    Tramer, J. S., Khalil, L. S., Jildeh, T. R., Abbas, M. J., McGee, A., Lau, M. J., Moutzouros, V., & Okoroha, K. R. (2022).

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery: Official Publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arthro.2022.06.027

    Here's the paper Kyle describes:
    Iversen, E., Røstad, V., & Larmo, A. (2016). Intermittent blood flow restriction does not reduce atrophy following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Journal of Sport and Health Science, 5(1), 115–118.

    Here's the paper Johnny describes:
    Curran, M. T., Bedi, A., Mendias, C. L., Wojtys, E. M., Kujawa, M. V., & Palmieri-Smith, R. M. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training Applied With High-Intensity Exercise Does Not Improve Quadriceps Muscle Function After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial. The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 48(4), 825–837.

    And here's the paper Ben describes:
    Brumitt, J., Hutchison, M. K., Kang, D., Klemmer, Z., Stroud, M., Cheng, E., Cayanan, N. P., & Shishido, S. (2020). Blood Flow Restriction Training for the Rotator Cuff: A Randomized Controlled Trial. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 1–6.

  • This episode of the ORS podcast is worth a listen just for Johnny's imitation of the Australian accent. Spoiler...it's terrible!! But if that doesn't tickle your fancy then stick around because Johnny and Kyle talk with Adrian Sexton about his work as an exercise physiologist in concussion rehab. They cover some basics as it relates to concussion and its management and then they dive into how Adrian has been integrating BFR rather successfully into the continuum of care.

    Also, if you're located in Australia, Adrian has a course offering at Murdoch University this fall on October 15th. Here's a link with details: https://owensrecoveryscience.com/courses-view/?permalink=perth-australia-october-2022

  • In our second installment of our special Memorial Day releases we have our instructor Zac Dunkle talking with fellow Marine, Gunnery Sergeant Tom Schmidt. They discuss:
    Tom's time in the service
    Its impact on his life
    The Rush of War - why some guys keep going back
    Task Force 8211 Fox Company

    In Memoriam:
    Team Chief Master Sergeant Eden Pearl 
    Nick Roush US ARMY Phyops (physiological operations)
    American citizen and interpreter Ya Hamid Ali Jimshi

  • The first of two Memorial Day podcasts this year. Begin this podcast at 1:33PM local to observe The National Moment of Remembrance at 3PM local.

    In this podcast Major General Daniel Walrath (ret) discusses his service, his injury, and his recovery with Johnny.

    He concludes by memorializing the 4 people killed in the attack on his group in Afghanistan.

    In Memoriam:

    Command Sergeant Major Kevin Griffin
    Major Tommy Kennedy
    Major Walter ‘David’ Gray
    US Citizen Mr. Ragaei Abdelfattah of the US Agency for International Development

  • In this episode the guys discuss two recent papers that build off of previous podcasts. The first article discussed is the use of BFR in Adolescents after ACLR. We previously chatted with the authors of this paper on our episode from June 23, 2020 titled "BFR in Kids!?!"

    The second paper discussed is a recent survey that was published looking into the use of BFR in persons with neurological conditions. We previously chatted with the primary author of this paper Mark Mañago, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS on November 18, 2020

  • It's 2022 y'all and we're excited for a new year of podcasts and knowledge! In this episode we talk with Dr. Edward Chang of INOVA Medical Group about his study utilizing BFR early in the rehab continuum following ACL reconstruction surgery.

    You can read more about Dr. Chang and his study at the links below:

    Additionally Johnny begins this podcast with a tribute to his friend Kevin Tipton, PhD who passed recently and unexpectedly. Dr. Tipton was our very first podcast guest and we're deeply saddened by his passing. A number of his colleagues have written tributes upon his passing. Below are a couple if you would like to read them.

    RIP Dr. Tipton
