Clinical Corner: Incorporating BFR & IASTM into Rehab for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

We will look closely at the biomechanics and other contributing factors that can lead to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, as defined by the Movement Impairment System. We will then show how the latest research relating to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome further supports a specific treatment approach for each client. And finish with methods of further enhancing these patellofemoral treatment approaches with IASTM and BFR.

• Understand the neuromuscular & biomechanical principles associated with normal & abnormal patellofemoral function.

• Demonstrate an understanding of the recent research for rehabilitation of patellofemoral syndrome.

• Understand the evidence-based objective findings and science for using Blood Flow Restriction training in the rehabilitation of patellofemoral pain syndrome.

• Understand the evidence-based objective findings and scientific evidence for using IASTM as part of a patellofemoral pain syndrome rehabilitation program.

• Develop an individualized, comprehensive, rehabilitative plan of care for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome that includes BFR and IASTM.
