Investigating Proximal Muscle Strength Effects by Incorporating Proximal Muscle Lengthening

Myofascial release (MFR) is a technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise is the brief and non-continuous blockage of venous blood flow using a device that restricts the flow of blood while exercising. This technique is used to produce hypertrophy (muscle growth) and strength responses while exercising at a lighter load than traditionally required to produce a similar response.
