Blood Flow Restriction Training
What Is Blood Flow Restriction?
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is the use of a blood pressure cuff/tourniquet to safely restrict venous and arterial blood flow from the working muscles at rest or during activity. This is done (accomplished) primarily with low-intensity and low-load resistance training, causing metabolic stress and cellular swelling that replicate the response during high-intensity and high-workload HIIT or other exercise.
What Are the Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction?
-
Drastically improve your patients’ post-surgical recovery time
-
Prevent or treat muscle atrophy or loss in both acute and chronic injuries/patients
-
Use as accessory work to decrease joint and tendon stress
-
Drives cellular repair and rejuvenation to improve scar and bone healing time
-
Improve VO2 Max or improve cardiovascular function at lower intensities
-
HGH production driving IGF - improved muscle, bones, and tissue growth
