ROCHELLE — Brandon Clement, PT, DPT, OCS, and Aaron Nevdal, PT, DPT, OCS, physical therapists at Northern Rehab Physical Therapy Specialists in DeKalb and Rochelle, recently completed a continuing education course for Blood Flow Restriction Training by BFR Pros in Rockford.
Blood flow restriction training is an exercise adjunct to enable patients to make greater strength gains while lifting lighter loads. The treatment works by applying an external pressure similar to a blood pressure cuff, which reduces venous outflow causing muscles to utilize oxygen faster and fatigue quickly. This method can produce increases in strength without having to lift heavy weights which can be painful or difficult due to a recent surgery, joint condition, or arthritis.
Upon completion of this training, both Clement and Nevdal are well prepared to independently treat patients using this type of hands-on treatment.
A physician’s prescription is no longer required to receive physical therapy treatment. Clement and Nevdal are accepting new patients at the DeKalb Sycamore Road location; additionally Nevdal is also accepting new patients in the Rochelle clinic.
To schedule an appointment in one of our clinics or via video conference from your home, or for more information, please call Northern Rehab at 815-756-8524 (DeKalb) or 815-562-3299 (Rochelle) or visit www.northernrehapt.com.
