Kyle Kimbrell, PT, MPT joins Kory Zimney and JJ Thomas to discuss using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) in the clinic. Kimbrell was first exposed to BFR through research and Johnny Owens' twitter and now works as an instructor for Owens Recovery Science in the West Coast Division. Here are some of the highlights: The clinical reasoning behind using BFR with the right patients comes down to a better understanding of the muscle and how it responds to load. One of the best cases for BFR are people that have an osteoarthritic knee. You can make the quadricep work hard and the knee doesn't have to  Getting your patients discharged quickly doesn't mean that you were successful with your patient. Many patients need capacity building and biology building takes time, and BFR helps with building that biology. In building muscles, load isn't as important as making the muscle tired. Convincing your patients that are scared of BFR can be as easy as just telling them that the pressure can be tight, but it will only be for a few seconds. Then, you can underload and give them the highest pressure just to let them see how the muscle feels and be familiar with it. BFR can reduce the time under tension, because it makes your muscles fatigue faster. When your patients starts counting all by themselves, you have the right load for your patient.

Transcript Do you wanna know the truth or do you want to have been right? And the best way to do. That is to continuously ask yourself what other explanations, you could find for anything that you believe how else could you see the world or see a particular thing that that you're witnessing. You know, whether it's in the clinic, and you're watching the the results of an intervention. How are all the ways you can explain those results and be as crazy as you want? I mean, the whole idea there is, you know, it's okay to be thinking and just to be throwing ideas out because a lot of times, you'll some across something that all of a sudden that actually is more likely, and that would change the way I would use this intervention. Keep things thinking. No stranger to show as guest today is Eric Mera. Eric was one of our very first guest. When we started this crazy show back in two thousand fifteen. He's also got his own show called PT inquest. We talk about that what goes into us programming than the pitfalls of that. And some different ways to to look at things that you probably look at a lot. That's I think what Eric's best at is highlighting those things and letting you see things differently. He he's great at that show's brought to you by Owens recovery. Science can't say enough about Johnny Owens and his team. They're just a great organization if you're looking to get certified and personalized blood flow restriction rehabilitation training. Plus, they they have the equipment you need to apply that plus what they also have for free is the research. They're the guys doing the research on this. They're leading the field all around the world. So check out what they have going on at Owens recovery. Science dot com. Broadcasting to physical therapists around the world is this is the PT pine cast. May I introduce me to introduce you to here's your host, physical therapist, Jimmy MacKay. Best conversations happen at happy hour. Welcome two hours. No stranger to the program. Back on the show is Eric Mera. Eric thanks for coming back, man. Hey, thanks for having me back. I always enjoy chatting with you Jimmy and just for the audience's knowledge because we're we did this yesterday and failed computer messed up and didn't record the conversation full. So I was like man we had such a great conversation. That was a great driver on. Let's do it again. So for the audience take two, it's okay. I don't I don't remember many conversations. I have anyway. So yeah, we wanted to want to bring you on. If anybody doesn't know Eric in his work. He's got his own podcast called P T inquest. You can find that wherever podcasts are sold. And by Seoul. We mean giving away for free, which is itchy and you're on Spotify. We found out. That's right. Yeah. When we try to record this the first time, you're asking me about and I was like, I don't think I'm on Spotify. But yeah, I've actually been on Spotify. For awhile apparent when people find that you have podcast for me to like. Okay. Cool. Your dork. What's your show about that was kind of like ask? When people ask you about PT inquest. What are you? What do you tell? Oh, ours is a very specific show. I do it with j w Matheson, it's a I like to describe it as a online journal club. So we get an article we the the two of us up over Skype, and we just talk about the article what it says what it doesn't say. You know, Jay w I h have over twenty years of experience as cynical therapists. And we've always been pretty tight with the with research in general and studying research, and so just having that that background of seeing a lot of papers for a couple of decades. Now, we can really give a lot of insight into into what emerging research is trying to accomplish. And how it how it kind of is interpreted in the context of previous research while you're like the guy from the matrix in the beginning when Neil I wakes up. He sees the screen, and it's all ones and zeroes.

Johnny Owens, MPT, of Owens Recovery Science talks about how blood flow restriction training can be utilized in rehab and focuses in on amputee care. He dives into the science and also the practicality of BFR. Listen to the end to hear him talk about another of his endeavors, the IDEO.    To learn more about Owens Recovery Science: https://www.owensrecoveryscience.com/

We speak with Johnny Owens, PT, from Owens Recovery Science. Johnny gives a great overview of blood flow restriction training and its use in the rehabilitation setting. This podcast covers a lot of ground, including: - The basics and science behind blood flow restriction - How to use it clinically - What patient populations can benefit from BFR - Risks and contraindications - Future applications and research - And more! To find out more, you can listen to Owens Recovery Science podcast.   00:25 Can you introduce yourself? 00:58 How did you get started with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and what made you decide to start an educational company? 03:09 What is BFR and how does it work? 07:13 Is the research in this area new or has it been around a long time? 4.What is the theory behind BFR? 5.What is the current research on BFR and what is still unknown? 08:33 What are the main populations that can benefit from BFR? 11:20 Are there any contraindications to using BFR? 13:39 Do you have to have a certain occlusion pressure to get the effect? 16: 32 What are the risks with BFR? 18:52 Any neural or sensory issues from the compression? 21:20 What is your opinion on the cheaper pump up cuffs without Doppler ultrasound to determine limb occlusion pressure? 24:29 Is there are a minimum frequency that must be achieved with BFR to make clinically significant changes? 25:50 If the cuff has to be proximal to the area that is worked on, how can it be effective for something like shoulder rehab? 29:01 A few studies cite the 30-15-15-15 protocol. Is this just a generic approach to prescribing BFR based on current research or is there more flexibility in prescribing BFR? 33:24 Would you do multiple exercises in one session with the cuff on? 35:34 If someone can lift over 75% of their max, do you not use a cuff? 36:11 What about using BFR for non-injured athletes (for performance)? 39:01 What are your thoughts on non-health professionals using BFR? 40:59 Are there screening questionnaires for BFR? 42:18 When after an injury or surgery would you start using BFR? 45:33 What are some big unknowns you hope will be answered with future research? 48:04 What about use of BFR in hospitals? 48:55 Where can people find out more about you?

#202: Johnny Owens & Paul Rogan are 2/6th of the ‘Ireland to Iceland 2017’ crew whom we met on the docks in the faraway fishing town of Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. Their gang of merry sailors were on an adventure to the Arctic in a 40-foot steel ketch, Johnny’s father as captain, making music as they want in the pubs along the way. We invited them to Isbjorn to share their story of adventure and creativity. Their expedition is designed to raise funds and awareness for Good2Talk Westmeath, a Mullingar, Ireland-based charity who provide Suicide Prevention, Counselling and Psychotherapy service.

Johnny Owens is a Physical Therapist who currently serves as the Director of Education at Owens Recovery Science. Previously, Johnny spent 10 years as the Chief of Human Performance Optimization at the Center for the Intrepid (See Video Below).  Here he treated service members, including Ryan Miller from Episode 79, who suffered severe musculoskeletal trauma. I heard Johnny speak at the AMSSM conference this past May in San Diego and was amazed by the incredible knowledge he was sharing on Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and the implications it has for athletes recovering from injury.  Johnny has been published extensively for his work with BFR in the peer reviewed literature and his work has been featured on 60 Minutes, Time Magazine, NPR, Discovery Channel and ESPN.  I have no doubt many of the athletes who listen to this episode can benefit one way or another by adding BFR to their rehab protocol or training regimen. As many of you know, I have been rehabbing from an Osteochonral Autograft Transfer (OATs) surgery I elected to have back in January of 2016.  I have been struggling with moderate to severe kneecap pain and atrophy  since 6 months out from surgery.  The pain has diminished greatly since working with Dr. Danielle Clarke over at Parabolic Performance and Rehab in Little Falls, NJ. However, when I heard Johnny talk about BFR at the AMSSM conference I first thought, I need to get this guy on the podcast and then thought, this could be a potential solution to my lingering knee pain! Johnny told me he thought I would be a good candidate for BFR training. For athletes like me who can't build muscle through lifting heavy loads because it is painful, the anaerobic properties of BFR training have been found to stimulate a similar biological response in the muscle with much lighter weights.  In the above picture, I am performing a step-up with a slow eccentric descent.  Trust me, you have never felt muscle fatigue until you have tried BFR.  It's a deep burn (Insert Ron Burgundy voice).  The single leg squat on the Total Gym is by far the most difficult and uncomfortable, but after having limited use of my quad for over a year, it's also glorious. Since recording this episode with Johnny I have been doing BFR on my leg for the past 3 weeks at Edge Physical Therapy & Sports Medici

Since working with Lawrence and Johanns at Edge, I can definitely feel a big difference in the strength of my left leg. Normally when I go out for a ride on my road bike or do some intervals on an Assault Bike, my non-surgically repaired right leg feels like it is doing all the work.  However, I feel much more symmetrical in the last couple rides and workouts I have done. I am excited to see the progress in the coming weeks.  Keep an eye out for some videos on social media of my BFR training. Below you will find notes on my interview with the BFR legend himself, Johnny Owens: BFR is an individualized tourniquet system and is meant to reduce blood flow into an extremity. If you are able to exercise at a low blood flow, you can use lighter weights to get similar results that you would expect from lifting heavy weights. BFR isn't as new of an idea as you might think. Early physiology studies from decades ago look into anaerobic muscle response. Yoshiaki Sato noticed bigger pump effect with BFR. Population Perfect for person recovering from injury because those patients cant handle heavy loads. Geriatric population. Battling sarcopenia after 50, body doesn’t respond to muscle protein synthesis. Athletes in season, won’t beat up the body. Dwight Howard video Both lower tourniquet pressures have an effect and high pressures have an effect. Why not just use a tourniquet? Clinically you can’t ignore the tourniquet literature. Wide and tapered devices to avoid pressure gradients. Contraindications list: Cardiovascular compromised Cancer “Sick person List” Young pediatrics Certification process Over 1000 certified providers Medical License is required PT, OT, ATC, MD Teaching how to use tourniquets. The science: Who wins?  lifting light or lifting light with a tourniquet? Tourniquet Johnny believes lifting heavy still wins overall, but not everyone can. Increase in lactate Growth hormone elevation Proximal changes around the tourniquet Ex. Quad gets so fatigued that the glute has to work harder Downstream fatigue effect Johnny’s work with Active Duty service members starting back in 2004 “The best and most honorable experience I had in my life” Limb salvage population Needed a strength and hypertrophy response and that’s where BFR came in. What goes into the decision to save or amputate a limb? Loading is going to make you bigger and stronger overtime Once you are injured, the body goes haywire Attitude is number one on the list in leading to successful injury outcomes Identity struggles for athletes and veterans How Psychologists and Nutritionists can help in this process. It was hard to ever feel bad for yourself at the center for the intrepid. Johnny's story of 3 ACL injuries: Grew up in west Texas and was the son of a mechanic (That just sounds tough). Played High school football in the same district as Permian High School from the Book "Friday Night Lights". Eventually gravitated to soccer: Blew his knee out playing soccer on a non-contact play in the rain. Eventually re-tore the repaired knee. Johnny talks about the evolution in ACL surgeries and treatments since his initial injury. Got hit by a car and tore it a third time while at The University of Texas at Austin. The third injury was an eye opener for Johnny, because he realized he couldn’t rely on becoming a pro soccer player. Johnny's advice to athletes going through the transition to life after sports is, "what you do does not define who you are". Why staying at the Center for the Intrepid was “Fail better” and how athletes should seek out non-health-hazardous opportunities that makes them uncomfortable.

Ryan Miller medically retired as a Captain from the US Army in 2012 due to severe wounds he received in Iraq, which ultimately led to the amputation of his left leg.  After becoming dependent on opiate painkillers throughout his recovery he now advocates for cannabis use.  Ryan graduated with a degree in Nuclear Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point and earned a masters degree in both business administration and public policy from Harvard.  I met Ryan while in Pittsburgh at the World Medical Cannabis Convention and Expo for my interview with Eben Britton.  I felt an immediate connection to Ryan when I walked up to him at the C.A.M.O. booth and he began to educate me on the many benefits that cannabis and hemp have to offer to the world.  It wasn't until later on in our conversation that I found out the he was wearing a prosthetic leg under his jeans. Ryan grew up in Staten Island, NY and defined himself as a football player at Stuyvesant High School, which he described as a school full of overachievers.  As a fellow fullback/linebacker, Ryan was never afraid of a little contact. During this episode, Ryan takes us through some moments of his high school glory days including a play where he suffered a compression sprain of his spine and forced him out of the remainder of that game.  Besides that injury, Ryan stayed relatively healthy and surgery-free until the wounds he suffered on the battlefield during his military career. "All your live's have just changed dramatically, That said, we have to lab, we have to execute." In addition to his influential uncle, Ryan decided to attend The United States Military Academy at West Point as a way to further differentiate himself from his high school classmates who were going on to Harvard, Yale, etc.  Ryan started at West Point in the Fall of 2001 and one of my favorite parts of this interview was when he described what the atmosphere was like on campus on 9/11.  Ryan's high school football team practiced on a field that was literally in the shadows of the World Trade Center, so seeing the planes crash into the buildings obviously hit home hard.  Ryan had just gotten back from the pharmacy and made his bed for AMI (morning inspection). While walking to class, he heard someone say something about a plane hitting the World Trade Center. Ryan's initial thoughts were that it must have been a small plane.  When he got to class one of his teachers had the tv on, and told the class "all your live's have just changed dramatically. That said, we have to lab, we have to execute. Ryan says that sense of normalcy around campus was everywhere. “He (Professor) was almost planting the seed...Hey we just went on convoy and lost the most beloved member of the platoon, we have to go back out there and execute tomorrow." I eventually asked Ryan how he ended up going into Infantry after majoring in nuclear engineering.  His answer was interesting in that he said it was quasi peer pressure at West Point.  I believe the dynamics of this peer pressure is similar to the pressures that exist in sports which serve as the foundation of the culture of toughness.  Although addressing the influence of peer pressure on his decision, Ryan doesn't regret his decision at all.  Ryan was in southern Baghdad, on a high profile mission reassessing the most recently cleared section of the city on October 18th 2007.   He was in a Stryker unit, which is an armored personnel carrier.  These vehicles are really cool and I included a series of videos below to explain their varying capabilities. At that time in southern Baghdad the biggest threat were houses that were rigged to explode.  However, it was a roadside bomb that hit the Stryker unit, which led to Ryan's injuries (severe damage to left leg, shrapnel wounds to the organs in his torso).  Ryan goes into detail in these moments, and nothing I write in this post will give that story justice, so make sure to give this episode a listen!  (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Juan Valdes) According to Ryan, in 2007 the best place to have a traumatic injury was Baghdad Iraq because it had the highest survival rate.  Despite the severe wounds to his left leg, he was able to salvage his limb for 3 years after the accident and worked with a future podcast guest, Johnny Owens in the process. We discuss what went into the decision to amputate and you might be surprised to learn that it wasn't anything he lost sleep over. This was because of the lack of functionality Ryan had with his limb and he remembers other people with prosthetics running circles around him.  Prior to his injury, Ryan weighed 230 pounds and was running  a sub 12 minute 2 mile.  Like our man Chris Norton, Ryan advises wounded veterans and injured athletes to not compare yourself to who you were in the past. Ryan also recommends finding a group that challenges you in your recovery and beyond.   These pieces of advice came from Ryan's struggles throughout his recovery, particularly while in grad school at Harvard where the degradation of his performance was most glaring for him.  Based on Ryan's academic credentials, its safe to assume that he was an absolute rock start in school, especially after graduating near the top of his class at West Point.  However, while at Harvard, Ryan remembers struggling academically, which he believes might have had something to do with the traumatic brain injuries on the battlefield and the opiate use while rehabbing to save his leg.  Lacking a peer group after his injury and physically being in a lot of pain led to a lack of social interaction that could have been beneficial in his recovery. Although most people assume Ryan used cannabis to get off pain killers, it was actually the rehab done at The Center for The Intrepid that did it.  Despite being strongly against marijuana in high school, he tried it recreationally while in grad school and noticed the positive affects it had on his mood and restless leg syndrome.  Eventually Ryan moved out to California and began advocating for Cannabis to help other veterans kick their addictions to pain killers because he believes that has a lot to do with the high suicide rates among veterans.  Check out some of the organizations listed below that Ryan is involved with. Lastly, Ryan lives his definition of toughness day in and day out.  To Ryan, toughness is being vulnerable enough to see all sides of an issue and take a stand for what you know is right after educating yourself on the topic at hand. Marijuana and cannabis as a whole have been demonized for decades and by listening to Ryan, a West Point and Harvard graduate, we get a different perspective that has the power to cultivate a new image they may have a positive affect in the world of sports.
