Can blood flow restriction training be used when heavy training is not allowed early after surgery?

Doctor’s answer

It can be considered after professional assessment. Blood flow restriction training can help restore muscle strength and muscle mass under lower loads and is often used when early training is limited after knee surgery or injury. Appropriate cuffs, pressure, and dosing are required; elastic bands should not be used to randomly tighten a limb.
