Blood Flow Restriction

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy

What is Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR)?

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy, commonly called BFR therapy, is an advanced rehabilitation technique that helps patients build strength and muscle while using lighter resistance. At Body Tune Physical Therapy, BFR therapy is used to support recovery after injury or surgery while minimizing stress on healing tissues.

During treatment, a specialized cuff is applied to the arm or leg to partially restrict blood flow while exercises are performed with low resistance. This creates physiological changes similar to high-intensity strength training without placing excessive strain on joints, muscles, or surgical repairs.

BFR therapy is commonly used for athletes, post-surgical patients, and individuals who cannot tolerate heavy lifting due to pain or mobility limitations.
