Blood Flow Restriction Strength Training

At InMotion Physical Therapy of Bedford, we are proud to offer Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) strength therapy, a cutting-edge approach to improving strength and recovery. BFR therapy uses specialized equipment to restrict blood flow to targeted muscles during low-intensity exercises, mimicking the effects of high-intensity training. 

What Is Blood Flow Restriction Therapy? 

BFR therapy involves applying a cuff or band to restrict venous blood flow while allowing arterial flow to the muscles. By creating a safe and controlled environment, BFR therapy helps: 

• Enhance muscle growth: Promotes hypertrophy with low-intensity exercises 

• Boost strength gains: Improves muscle activation and endurance 

• Accelerate recovery: Encourages healing in soft tissues and muscles 

• Reduce joint stress: Achieve results without the strain of heavy lifting 

  
  

Conditions Treated with BFR Therapy 

Blood Flow Restriction therapy is highly effective for a variety of conditions, including: 

• Post-surgical recovery: ACL repairs, total knee replacements, and rotator cuff surgeries 

• Muscle weakness: Due to injury, illness, or disuse 

• Sports injuries: Strains, sprains, and overuse injuries 

• Chronic conditions: Osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and joint pain
