Carmelo Anthony has a secret weapon in his sudden recent run of good health, which he has made a point of emphasizing in recent weeks as the rumors swirl before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
You can find the answer across the country: California-based physical therapist Drew Morcos, who said he added the 32-year-old Knicks star as a client this season as Anthony tries to ward off injury and keep his body fresh through his 14th pro season.
Morcos has implemented a special technique in his regular movement training with the 6-foot-8, 240-pound Anthony. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, which originated in the United States with the military as a way to avoid amputation on injured soldiers, has been gaining popularity in the sports world over the past two years.
