In this article, former running back Tiki Barber talks about how he used "joint strengthening exercises" to fuel his success later in his career. This article gives a nice account about what therapeutic exercise can do for anyone, even an NFL athlete. It is what we do for our patients EVERYDAY. Just another win for conservative care through physical therapy!

Joint strengthening exercises, like push-ups and back squats, helped former NFL running back Tiki Barber play his best football at age 30, he said.

Chris Hemsworth is getting arms like BOSS by using blood flow restriction or BFR. We love rehabbing our patients using blood flow restriction because it helps create that surge of Human Growth Hormone that is critical to improved tissue repair and muscle hypertrophy. This in turn results in faster recovery from surgery and injury. BRILLIANT!!!

Chris Hemsworth I think I am just a few preacher curls shy of being your next stunt double...call me ;)

Chris Hemsworth said blood flow restriction was "one of the most uncomfortable training methods I've experienced," but it got his arms huge for Thor.
