Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training equipment with Delfi device, cuffs, and basketball – used in strength and rehab training.

Is This Course Right for You?

Strength & Conditioning Coaches 

Apply BFR to build strength and support recovery when loading is limited — with clear, safe decision-making.

Physical Therapists & Rehab Specialists

Integrate BFR into rehab and return-to-play with evidence-based guidelines and safety-first execution.

Practitioners Managing Load or Tissue Restrictions

Use BFR strategically when traditional loading is limited — guided by appropriate pressure, programming, and safety principles.

About the Course

The BFR Blueprint is built around decision-making, not just protocols. By the end of the course, you’ll know: - When BFR is worth using — and when it’s better left out - How to adjust pressure, exposure, and exercise selection without guesswork - How to integrate BFR into performance, rehab, and recovery without overusing it This isn’t about doing more BFR. It’s about using it intentionally. This course may not be a fit for: - Coaches looking for a quick certification or weekend credential - Anyone looking for an exercise library or “plug-and-play” BFR workouts - Those focused on maximizing BFR volume without understanding when not to use it

This isn't a course built on how BFR was taught years ago. It reflects how I actually use it now — in high-performance and rehab settings, grounded in current research.

Jordan Sabourin PhD, NBA Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, creator of The BFR Blueprint Blood Flow Restriction training course

About the Creator

I’ve spent over 17 years applying Blood Flow Restriction training in real performance and rehabilitation settings — including at the NBA level — where safety and execution matter. My PhD research focused on BFR, and I’ve applied these methods across high-performance and clinical populations. I built The BFR Blueprint to cut through hype and deliver a clear, evidence-based framework you can use immediately — whether you’re coaching athletes, guiding rehab, or supporting performance in practice.
