Is the BFR certification worth it for ACL rehab

I’m eyeing an 8-hour BFR course in late January and wondering if it genuinely improved outcomes for your post-op ACLs. Did it change your early-phase loading (weeks 2–4 using about 60–80% limb occlusion pressure, paired with NMES and isometrics) or your return-to-play decisions when combined with force-plate metrics? My goal is quicker quad recovery with less pain flare for patients, so I’m trying to choose CE that truly shifts practice.

I’ve seen some solid improvements in quad recovery with BFR for ACL rehab, but it really depends on the individual. Just remember, while the numbers might look good not every athlete responds the same way — it’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Have you considered how you’ll tailor your approach based on specific patient responses?
