DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION TRAINING?
BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION TRAINING (BFRT) is a game changer for sports rehabilitation and performance needs. BFRT uses a unique tourniquet system that looks like a blood pressure cuff that can be applied to the arm or leg. When the cuff is inflated to a specific pressure (depending on the needs of the athlete), it will reduce blood flow to the working limb. HOW IS THIS BENEFICIAL? Reducing blood flow to the muscle allows you to work the muscle hard without putting a significant amount of weight on your arm or leg. The use of BFRT is quick and happens at various intervals during an exercise—8 minutes per move.
Common injuries that benefit from BFRT are: • Post-operative care for the arms and legs • Tendon injuries • Quad or hamstring tears • IT Band injuries • Patellofemoral injuries
• Achilles tendon injuries • Rotator cuff injuries • Tennis or golfer’s elbow • ACL/meniscus injuries • Non-union fractures
BFRT doesn’t only apply to an injury. If you’re into fitness and want to take your muscle gains, power, strength, recovery needs, and endurance to the next levell, then BFRT is for you! (continued inside)
