Blood Flow Restriction Training with Chris Power, PT, DPT, CSCS

Come see or experience our new top of the line Smart Cuffs used to partially restrict the flow of blood into the arm or leg during exercise. Learn what Blood Flow Restriction Training can do for you.

Blood-flow restriction training can help patients to make greater strength training gains while lifting lighter loads, thereby reducing the overall stress placed on the limb.

By applying the right amount of external pressure to an extremity, it's possible to maintain arterial inflow while occluding venous outflow distal to the occlusion site.

The aim of BFR training is to mimic the effects of high intensity exercise by recreating a hypoxic environment using a cuff. The cuff is placed proximally to the muscle being exercise and low intensity exercises can then be performed.
