The BFST is specifically designed to be very safe to use. The only contraindication, or situation where using the BFST is not advisable, is if you have had a cortisone shot within the last six weeks.
Cortisone has a purpose that's totally different from the BFST. Cortisone is designed to help pull out inflammation internally. BFST is to bring in healthy blood flow, and should not be used if you have substantial information, which can present as pain, swelling, redness or tenderness. If you have been deemed a candidate for cortisone, it's most likely because you're dealing with persistent inflammation that you haven't been able to manage on your own using ice and rest. You should give the cortisone time to reduce inflammation while you use cold therapy, as the BFST is most effective when you have less inflammation.
