bloood flow restriction therapy

At PROMPT Physical Therapy, we offer Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy, a cutting-edge technique designed to enhance muscle strength and hypertrophy using FDA-approved cuffs that restrict blood flow during low-intensity exercise. This method creates a hypoxic environment in the muscles, promoting greater muscle fiber recruitment and metabolic stress, leading to significant gains in muscle strength and size with minimal joint stress. BFR allows us to utilize little to no load during times of injury or pain, and still get the same positive effects of heavier strength training.

BFR therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from surgery, those with chronic pain conditions, and patients with musculoskeletal injuries, allowing for effective rehabilitation with lower loads. If you're curious about how BFR therapy could support your rehabilitation journey, ask your physical therapist at PROMPT Physical Therapy if it would be a beneficial addition to your treatment plan.
