Blood Flow Restriction Therapy

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR) or also known as occlusion therapy is one of the fastest growing evidence-based techniques available today.  BFR is the act of safely restricting venous blood flow from a working muscle, while still allowing arterial blood flow to that working muscle. This technique is normally done in conjuncture with low intensity resistance training.  Since the ability of that blood to escape is dramatically reduced, metabolic stress and cellular swelling are greatly increased.  This technique is only performed by our Doctors of Physical Therapy that are certified in BFR.
