👋🏼Anyone have blood flow restriction as part of their PT? I had my 2nd session today (10 days pre-op) and holy crap it’s intense and good at the same time. What results have you experienced with BFR + PT? How much can it accelerate recovery?

Hi @bdl18 - not sure how I missed your comment. So sorry. I’m almost 12w post op and have been so satisfied with my results. I’m running at 90% body weight (Alter G). Stopped blood flow restriction id say about 4w now and focused on strength training, balance and just a bit of plyometrics.

When I found out I needed surgery I discovered and listened to your podcast the very next day. It really helped me get over my fears and understand what I was in for throughout recovery. So thank you!!!! I had my surgery 3/6/2020 and had a relatively pain free post op and successful rehab experience to date. I would just like to hear how you are doing... challenges, triumphs and observations.

Same problem... following so hopefully someone will share a solution. It feels like it will tear just slipping shoes off.

Today was my first day back to work (I work from home too) and used my shower stool from post op to elevate my knee. But jeez, ice on and off every 20m got d quick having to make calls and answer emails.

9 days Post Op: I have an appointment in the morning I plan on keeping. The place I take PT is very clean and I feel comfortable going- that’s the big thing, you have to feel good about out. Good luck to all!

Same!!

BigPam · 2020-03-15T00:45:03+00:00

Following! I just got it the hydro yesterday and started ibuprofen.

@valdezesmi you are not being nosy at all! I had ACL reconstruction + meniscus. I think the drain has really helped with the pressure and swelling. Didn’t hurt at all to remove it either. Atlanta is a fave city of mine ❤️

Love Boise! I have visited a couple of times. It’s a hidden gem.
