Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is an approach that can be used during
outpatient physical therapy to promote muscle strengthening safely and effectively. A properly trained Physical Therapist can use BFR during physical therapy to help patients significantly increase muscle strength while working out with very low weights.
The Benefits of BFR:
- Reduce recovery time / allow patients to return to activity quicker
- Improve aerobic performance
- Safely and significantly increases muscle strength through the use of light weights
- Potentially improve bone healing
- Reduce pain allowing earlier restoration of normal movement patterns
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy is currently available at all Locations except for Milwaukie. For more information about BFR please call one of our clinics directly.
