Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

What

Brief and intermittent closing of blood flow from your veins using a tourniquet while exercising. 

Imagine measuring your blood pressure, but applying the cuff to the affected body part. 

How

A tourniquet is applied to a limb and pressurized with enough room for arterial blood to flow during rehabilitative exercises. The amount of pressure applied is custom for you. The system maintains or adjusts the pressure to enable a safe, consistent stimulus to achieve your desired outcome.

Benefits

  • Exercise with less weight and still create a growth and strength response.
  • Benefits of strength training without stress to your tissue that may be healing during a recent injury or surgery.
  • Improve performance, increase strength, and prevent muscle atrophy.
