Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is a rehabilitation treatment that curbs partial blood to the affected area to create higher levels of metabolic stress, stimulating muscle growth.
Because BFR can create this metabolic stress, exercises can be performed with low-load resistance training and achieve the same, if not better results than traditional strength training.
BFR may be a helpful therapy technique for the following conditions:
- Injury rehabilitation
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Weak muscles
- Knee pain
- Fractures
- Tendinopathies
- Osteoporosis
