Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment used to help you build muscle and strength while using light weights or even bodyweight exercises. It’s especially helpful for people recovering from surgery or injuries, as it allows you to get stronger without putting too much stress on your joints. BFR can also be used to prevent muscle loss during recovery when you can’t exercise fully.

During BFR therapy, pneumatic cuffs are applied to the upper arms or legs to limit blood flow while still allowing oxygenated blood to return to the muscles. This creates a safe environment to stimulate muscle growth, improve strength, and enhance recovery. It causes the muscles to work harder and grow stronger, even though you’re using much lighter weights than usual. It’s like getting the benefits of lifting heavy weights without the risk or strain on your healing body.
