What Is Blood Flow Restriction Therapy?

Blood flow restriction (BFR) is an innovative therapy method that allows patients to gain strength without lifting heavy loads, thereby minimizing the overall stress placed on the body. BFR therapy utilizes an FDA-approved occlusion cuff to decrease blood flow to a limb while performing light exercise, which results in exceptional muscular strength and endurance gains.

What Are the Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Therapy?

Typically, to increase muscle size and strength effectively, you need to overload muscle tissue to stimulate growth. However, many of our patients cannot tolerate the loads necessary to gain muscle strength due to injury or pain. But by using BFR physical therapy, we can get similar gains without using heavy weights and, therefore, protect an injured joint.

Blood flow restriction can be helpful for patients recovering from lower extremity injuries and conditions like meniscus tears. In addition to blood flow restriction therapy for meniscus tears, patients often resort to blood flow restriction therapy for soft tissue injuries and bone stress injuries.

How It Works

By restricting blood flow to the muscles of that limb, the muscle is tricked into thinking that it is undergoing a significant breakdown. This stimulates the muscle to signal a greater response for repair, although no real damage is occurring. The body will release growth factors and begin a repair cascade that mirrors that of lifting heavy weights. This technique has been shown to decrease return to activity time in many post-surgical conditions in which the joint cannot be loaded with heavy resistance.

BFR therapy is also a very effective recovery tool used with an athletic population undergoing intense training. Training with BFR therapy on recovery days further stimulates the repair of the muscles without further muscle tissue breakdown. This improves recovery time and allows a faster return to intense training/activity.

Is Blood Flow Restriction Right for You?

If you are seeking a non-invasive, pain-free way to improve your strength, cardiovascular endurance, and recovery time, then blood flow restriction therapy may be the right fit. Give our office a call today to schedule an appointment with one of our expert physical therapists.
