BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION TRAINING

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique in which pressurized bands (which look similar to blood pressure cuffs) are placed on the arms and/or legs.  BFR triggers the body to build more muscle mass than it otherwise would at a lower training intensity.

In the hands of an experienced practitioner, BFR training can be a useful tool to support musculoskeletal rehabilitation for injury and post-surgical recovery and to support strength and muscular conditioning training for athletes and some patients with chronic physical conditions.

Vickie is a Certified Blood Flow Restriction Specialist with certifications through The University of Tennessee and through Hawkgrips training. 

During your recovery or return to sport program, BFR Training may be utilized if it is found to be appropriate for your training.

Please contact our office with any questions or to determine if BFR Training may benefit you.
