Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a technique that involves partially restricting blood flow to a muscle while exercising, typically using a cuff or band around the limb.

Research suggests that BFR may be particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to perform high-intensity exercise due to injury, surgery, or other conditions. By partially restricting blood flow, BFR can create a similar metabolic stress to high-intensity exercise, leading to improvements in muscle strength and size with less overall stress on the body.

Some specific results that have been reported in studies on BFR in rehabilitation and recovery include:
* Improved muscle strength: BFR has been shown to improve muscle strength in both healthy individuals and those recovering from injuries or surgeries.
* Increased muscle size: BFR has also been shown to increase muscle size, particularly in individuals who are unable to perform high-intensity exercise.
* Reduced muscle atrophy
* Improved cardiovascular function

It is important to note that BFR should only be performed under the guidance of a trained healthcare professional, as it can pose risks if not done correctly.

💃🏼DANCERS!💃🏼

If you are dealing with any injuries or limitations hindering your performance, our very own Dr. is here to help you! Laura has a passion for Scottish Highland Dancing which she has been involved in for over 30 years, both as a teacher and competitive dancer. It has allowed her to travel and compete all over the world and helped her discover her love for wellness and physical therapy.

Laura has been a practicing physical therapist for over 13 years with the majority of her experience in the outpatient orthopedic setting. Throughout her physical therapy career Laura has taken numerous continuing education classes including Kinesiotaping, treatment for dance injuries, clinical instruction and the Mckenzie method for treating spine related injuries. Laura has had the pleasure of being a clinical instructor for four physical therapy students, which was a great and valuable learning experience.

Recently, Laura underwent knee surgery and months of physical therapy at Peak Performance Physical Therapy. Through her journey as a patient, she was inspired by the wonderful care and treatment she received and is thrilled to be a part of the team!

Laura enjoys working with patients of all ages and is excited to work with you to help you get back to doing what you love, whatever it may be!

Evan grew up in Holland, MI. He attended Central Michigan University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Health Fitness and Preventative Rehabilitation, and earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Duke University. ⁣
⁣
Evan has been practicing for 5 years in outpatient orthopedics near the world famous “Rocky Steps” or Philadelphia Museum of Art. During those 5 years, Evan became certified in Manual Physical Therapy through Evidence in Motion and became a Certified Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialists. He has broad experience in treating a variety of orthopedic conditions across all age groups. Some of his specialities include treatment of headaches, TMJ, neck pain, lower back pain, and post-op return to sport rehab and sports performance training. Evan is a certified running gait analyst and enjoys working with runners on getting back to pain-free running. ⁣
⁣
Despite all these specialties, Evan’s one true passion in PT and life is the sport of Golf. Evan is TPI certified and hopes to pursue a career where he can focus on Golf injury rehabilitation, and Golf performance training. It is no secret that the game of Golf is getting longer, and the further you hit the ball, the lower your scores will be. Evan plans to employ an evidence-based approach to identify the specific movement impairments that may be holding back your swing. He will help you develop the necessary strength and mobility to bring your game to the next level. If you want to be the low handicap of your group and want to fix your swing, you need to fix your body first. Evan will help you achieve that.⁣
⁣
Outside of Golf, Evan enjoys playing and watching Football and Basketball, and despite being in Philadelphia for 5 years, he remains a Detroit sports fan through and through. He also has spent a lot of time this past year practicing Yoga and applies a lot of these principles in his work with clients. Evan also enjoys spending quality time with his newlywed wife, Lauren Rae, and their dog, Mayday.

Ironman Lake Placid 2022. You were everything I hoped for and more. I signed up for this race in 2014. Had to defer due to opening a new restaurant. Left that career behind. Went to coaching full time. Did multiple other Ironmans since, but it took until 2022 to get the stars aligned for me to take on this beautiful course. Ended up being an amazing week with friends & a bunch of my athletes kicking some serious butt. 6x first time Ironman finishers on a day that saw the 2nd highest DNF percentage in the long history of IMLP! When you coach and race, it’s really tough to balance both. I feel like I have found the sweet spot with that and that helped a ton with both performance and enjoyment. All in all, a race I will NEVER forget and a week that couldn’t have been better. Performance wise, a really good day with a PR for full distance: 1:07:24 swim. 5:50:29 bike. 4:01:00 run. 11:15:07 total finish time. 19th place M40-44. 152nd overall. I’ve got much more in me, but a huge positive step. Big thanks to everybody I tagged that is involved in my ability to compete better as an almost 43 yr old than ever before, but especially my wonderful wife and the kids for being the best support and old man could wish for. On to the next…

Our final lifter at the is our resident medical school student and ball of muscle beki schultz].
Beki, along with Greg (Greg Karas]) are ’s weightlifting OGs. She is one of the hardest workers around - in addition to being a high level, decorated lifter, she is also a 3rd year medical student and just completed her first board exam last week.

Most recently in weightlifting , she competed at the University National Championships in Detroit where she took 3rd place in sn**ch and won best overall female lifter at the CANUSA meet last summer.

While Beki is successful as a lifter, she’s also extremely humble and diligent. She trains in between studying for medical board exams, in Greg Karas]’ garage gym, during off hours - by whatever means necessary, she gets things done.

Please show Beki some support as she lifts today at 12:00PM EST on the blue platform! Good luck 🍀 beki schultz] we are all cheering 📣 you on from home!

STRONGER NOT SMALLER...except um today is a bit of a high gravity day. I swear I can usually crank out 3 proper ones! Peep my merch 💪 And also thank you for taking multiple videos of me and of course fixing mtb/climbing-induced shoulder injury. It's super exciting to see multiple strong AF climbers talking about body image, getting stronger and destroying the prevalent push for leanness in climbing. In fact I'm probably 20 lbs heavier than my former fighting weight in Tae Kwon Do but I'm climbing way stronger, got into mountaineering with heavy packs, and am on track to hopefully hit the two-hundo deadlift club! It's also amazing how much faster I recover when I'm not as lean. To be honest, it's taken a very long time to be comfortable with this higher weight and I still freak out about it from time to time but alas that's life.
