BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION THERAPY
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training involves using specialized cuffs to
partially restrict blood flow to a muscle while performing low-load exercises.
This technique allows for muscle growth and strength gains with significantly
less stress on joints and tissues, making it a valuable tool in rehabilitation
and performance training.
BENEFITS OF BRF TRAINING
-
Increases
Strength & Muscle Growth – Stimulates muscle
adaptation using lighter loads, reducing strain on healing tissues.
-
Enhances
Recovery – Promotes blood flow and nutrient delivery while
minimizing muscle atrophy during injury rehabilitation.
-
Reduces
Joint Stress – Provides strength benefits without the need
for heavy lifting, ideal for those recovering from surgery or injury.
-
Improves
Endurance & Circulation – Encourages capillary growth
and oxygen utilization for better muscular endurance.
-
Speeds
Up Rehabilitation – Helps restore function and strength
faster in post-surgical and injury recovery programs.
COMMON USES
-
Post-Surgical
Recovery – ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and
joint surgeries.
-
Injury
Rehabilitation – Tendonitis, muscle strains, and joint
pain.
-
Strength
Training for Limited Mobility – Beneficial for individuals
unable to lift heavy weights due to injury or pain.
-
Athletic
Performance & Recovery – Enhances muscle growth and
recovery in athletes managing workload and fatigue.
