Notice Title

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR Northumbria)

Notice Description

Identify which BFR combination elicits the most favourable pain response. Examples include passive rest, walking on a treadmill, cycling, knee-extension) Explore the cross-transfer effect of pain using BFR on the contralateral limb (for example, prescribing BFR exercise on the left limb if the injury is on the right limb).
