Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy is an advanced physical therapy technique that enhances muscle strength, growth, and recovery while significantly reducing the stress placed on joints and healing tissues. During BFR therapy, a specially calibrated cuff or band is placed around the upper arm or thigh to safely and partially restrict blood flow during low-load exercises. This creates a strong physiological response in the muscle — similar to what you’d get with heavy weight training — without the high intensity that can delay healing.
Why Choose BFR Therapy?
BFR therapy is ideal for individuals who:•Are recovering from surgery or injury and cannot perform high-intensity strength training•Are experiencing muscle weakness or atrophy•Want to accelerate rehabilitation progress•Seek improved strength and function with less joint stress
How It Works
Under the guidance of a trained physical therapist, a pressure-controlled cuff is applied to a limb before performing therapeutic exercises. The cuff partially restricts blood flow, which increases metabolic stress and muscle activation even with lighter resistance. This triggers the body’s natural adaptive processes, helping muscles grow stronger and recover faster while protecting healing tissues.
Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Therapy
✔ Increase muscle strength and size with lighter loads✔ Accelerate recovery after surgery or injury✔ Reduce stress on joints and repaired tissues✔ Preserve muscle during immobilization or limited activity✔ Improve functional performance and endurance
