Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy
Cutting edge rehabilitation technology to help fast-track your way to achieving your goals
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is a novel treatment technique where a cuff is placed on your leg or arm while you are exercising. The cuff is pressurized to control the rate of blood flow into your muscles while you are performing exercise with low weight. Benefits of BFR include improving muscle strength, size and endurance without having to use heavy weights or high intensity during exercise. This treatment approach can be helpful while injured when your body is not yet able to tolerate exercising with higher weights.
Ascend Physical Therapy uses Delfi brand BFR devices and was trained by Owens Recovery Science. This brand of device is the gold standard in BFR therapy and is used by professional sports teams and in college training rooms across the world.
