How Blood Flow Restriction Can Help You!
Many patients in our physical therapy clinics are unable to lift heavy weights – sometimes because of pain or surgery. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training can be an excellent rehabilitation tool because it allows patients to reap the benefits of an intense heavy weight-lifting session while only requiring the patient to perform low-to-moderate-intensity training. This reduces stress on tissues that may be healing from a recent injury or surgery. During BFR training, a patient or athlete performs high repetitions of a particular exercise while wearing a band or cuff around their upper arm or upper leg with use of light resistance.
