Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitative Therapy

BFR cuffs placed at the proximal thigh, just inferior to the greater trochanter. Inflation time not to exceed 20 minutes. One BFR session per treatment. BFR exercise dosage: 4 sets of the following repetitions 30, 15, 15, 15, 30 second rest between sets, 1 min rest between exercises. Progress exercise if pain \<2/10 on VAS and RPE \<5 on 0-10 scale. (Heerey et al), and no break down in form.

BEHAVIORAL

Sham BFR Rehabilitative Therapy

The schedule, type of exercises, repetition ranges, and other physical therapy interventions will be the same as the BFR experimental group - however a non-occlusive pressure will be applied with the cuff in the control group.
