Blood Flow Restriction Therapy
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy allows strength and healing benefits using much lighter loads. This is especially helpful when joints are irritated or after surgery when heavy resistance is not yet appropriate.
What This Is
A specialized cuff is placed on the arm or leg to partially restrict blood flow while you perform low-load exercises. This creates a training effect similar to heavy lifting without placing high stress on the joint or healing tissue.
When We Use It
Situations where heavy loading is painful or not yet warranted
How It Improves Treatment
BFR stimulates strength and tissue adaptation without placing high stress on joints, improves muscle activation, and support tissue adaptation while protecting irritated or healing structures. It allows progress to continue even when traditional strengthening would be too uncomfortable.
What a Session Looks Like
You perform guided, low-load exercises while wearing the cuff under close supervision. The pressure and exercise are carefully monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness.
