Blood Flow Restriction therapy helps grow muscle even without heavy loads.
If you have muscles that are refusing to strengthen, blood flow restriction therapy can help.
Blood Flow Restriction
Sometimes after an injury or orthopedic surgery, muscles build at different rates throughout the body. For instance, after an ACL surgery on your knee, your leg muscle might be a different size than the leg muscle where you did not have the operation. BFR helps encourage the smaller muscle to regrow.
Reclaim Physical Therapy is one of the first BFR providers in the country. Our certified therapists can guide you safely and effectively through BFR with strength training to help you retrain and maximize strength in stubborn muscles. We use an FDA-approved, medical-grade cuff around the limb, restricting blood flow to the muscle. When the procedure is done with proper technique, the muscle is encouraged to grow based on adaptation. This method is particularly useful for patients who are looking to regain strength or size in targeted muscles.
