Is BFR training safe?

As a certified BFR therapist, I received and completed certification in this therapy. I am very well versed in BFR, the scientific rational as well as how to apply it clinically.

I can confirm that BFR training can be a safe and effective tool for rehabilitation. (You may want to site an example of a patient but do not use any names). It has consistently demonstrated to be a safe modality.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends moderate to high load resistance training to improve muscular strength and hypertrophy. BFR has been performed on thousands of subjects, with little to no side effects.
