    Response from Dr. Jewett:

    “Thanks
    for the question Miran, hope I can provide a good answer.

    Banded
    distraction is a wonderful tool to loosen up the capsule of the joint,
    especially the hips and shoulders. I am not a vascular expert but I would say
    if you are not comfortable using the band in the hip due to discomfort or fear
    of congesting the femoral artery then leave the band off. You can still get
    good results without the band. I can not say one way or the other if it is safe
    or not, but what I do know is if the person isn’t comfortable or has a little
    bit of doubt in them while they do it, their nervous system won’t relax enough
    for it to be effective.”

    Hi Philip,

    Thank you for your answer. My question was directed at banded distractions. From my perspective, your answer doesn’t focus on my question, but generally things to think about when distracting and I completely agree on the things you say. 
    Let me be more clear. When performing the hip distraction the femoral veins swells up due to the stop of the bloodflow experienced because of the pressure of the band. Additionally, I have varicose veins and I am wondering how this pressure sustained during these exercises affects the veins in general?!
    Thanks,
    Mirko
