Blood Flow Restriction
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled compression to reduce blood flow during low-intensity exercise, promoting muscle growth, healing, and tissue repair. It’s an effective approach to accelerate recovery and enhance rehabilitation.
​
Conditions Treated with BFR Therapy:
-
Arthritis
-
Tendinitis
-
ACL/Meniscal Tears
-
Non-Union Fractures
-
IT Band Issues
-
Pre-Surgical Strengthening
-
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation (e.g., ACL, Achilles, Rotator Cuff Repairs, Joint Replacements)
​
By creating a hypoxic environment, BFR stimulates angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), improving healing, reducing pain, and restoring function. BFR therapy is typically performed 2-3 times per week, with noticeable improvements in strength and recovery.
