The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains , fractures and dislocations.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
BFR training uses a pneumatic tourniquet at the upper part of an arm or leg. Light strengthening is performed with occlusion along the upper arm or leg. Occlusion restricts venous return and partially restricts arterial inflow. Exercise with occlusion has been found to have benefits of strengthening at 20%-30% of a 1 rep max which
were thought to only occur with high intensity training at 65-75% of a 1 rep max.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling involves inserting a tiny, monofilament needle in a muscle or group of muscles in order to release shortened muscle bands, increase blood flow, decrease referred pain and decrease trigger point activity. This can help resolve pain and muscle tension, and will promote healing. Dry needling is safe and often an effective technique for patients with certain musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Dry needling is performed by a skilled, trained physical therapist, certified in the technique.
