"I began blood flow restriction training with Susie Lachowski in November of 2018. My surgeon recommended BFRT, since traditional physical therapy alone was not properly restoring my atrophied muscles. Susie stood out as the most qualified person to work with because of her extensive research in the area of blood flow restriction therapy, including her dissertation

​

Susie began our regiment by taking baseline data in order to identify areas of weakness. After that we worked together twice a week in order to rebuild the muscles in my right leg. When I began working with Susie I could not walk up stairs and had begun having hip pain due to the imbalance of my leg muscles.  By the time we finished working together in June of 2019 I was pain-free and could do all physical activities.

 

My physical improvements are a direct result of Susie’s hard work and considerable insight into the fields of exercise physiology and blood flow restriction therapy. She created an individualized program to target the specific weakened muscles. This allowed for optimum growth and rebuilding of muscle cells, which in turn led to a return to my pre-surgery physical abilities.

 

Not only is Susie extremely knowledgeable, she is professional and wonderful to work with. Completing blood flow restriction exercises is grueling and yet Susie always found a way to make it fun. It was something that I looked forward to going to each time. Susie truly changed my life and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her"
