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.
