Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy is a cutting-edge recovery technique that enhances strength and muscle growth while reducing strain on the body. By using restrictive bands to limit blood flow during exercise, BFR allows for significant gains with lighter weights, making it ideal for individuals recovering from injuries or surgery. This therapy is recommended for athletes and those with conditions like osteoarthritis, knee injuries, or rotator cuff issues. BFR is beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate weight-bearing exercises, as it helps prevent muscle atrophy and speeds up recovery.

During a BFR session, a specialized tourniquet system is applied to restrict blood flow to the working muscles. The reduced blood flow tricks the brain into thinking the muscles are lifting heavier weights, promoting growth and faster recovery without overstressing the body. BFR also offers benefits like improved cardiovascular health and reduced muscle damage markers. While generally safe, it should be performed under professional supervision to minimize risks like bruising or skin irritation.
