Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a clinical treatment technique that uses a cuff similar to a standard blood pressure cuff to partially occlude blood flow. BFR allows patients to lift lighter loads than normal to achieve similar strength gains. It can be used for both upper and lower extremities and for a variety of diagnoses. BFR pressures and protocols are specific to each patient and their goals.
Your trained therapist will measure your individual limb occlusion pressure to determine an appropriate working pressure of your extremities. The blood pressure cuff will be inflated to that level at which point you will go through a protocol of either inflation and deflation of the cuff or performance of a pre-determined exercise to target the appropriate soft tissue.
The entire staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They treat you like family. I also like the personal attention that they give you. It’s not like a gym where they throw you on a machine and say, “here you go”! They stay with you every step of the way. I would highly recommend!
