Blood Flow Restriction Therapy – BFRT

BFRT is the closest thing to an “exercise pill”! By placing carefully designed bands on the arms and legs, exercise causes fatigue and strengthening results, creating the same effect as high load resistance training, but with very low weights. The low-load weights mean that there is no mechanical strain or damage placed on the muscle (which normally causes soreness and a repair process) and the result is faster strength gains. 

Incorporating BFRT is particularly useful post-injury or post-surgery with rehabilitation exercises commenced more rapidly than usual.
