Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation

Do you want to enhance your performance but struggle with high-intensity and high-impact exercise? Blood flow restriction rehabilitation and training is a cutting-edge, new form of exercise therapy that allows patients to continue to grow their muscle mass and strength using low-impact movements. At Anchor Physical Therapy Spine & Sports Medicine in Broomfield, Colorado, we are proud to offer this innovative technique to qualifying patients.

How Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation Works

Blood flow restriction rehabilitation is a modern approach to sports performance enhancement and strength training that allows patients to benefit from low impact movements rather than high-intensity exercises. During your blood flow restriction rehabilitation and training session, a tourniquet will be wrapped around the limb that is being used, typically at the upper arm or the thigh.

Once the tourniquet is placed, the patient will begin performing low impact movements and strength training as usual. Because the blood flow is blocked within the area being treated, the muscles begin to experience the key components to muscle building much faster than without the blood flow restriction. This leads to mass building and strengthening using less weight and less intensity during the workout.

Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation

Blood flow restriction rehabilitation and strength training is revolutionizing the way our patients enhance their performance both inside and outside the gym. Benefits of blood flow restriction rehabilitation include:

Enhances muscle strength faster than traditional strength training.
Increases muscle mass faster than traditional strength training.
Less impact on the muscles and tendons throughout training sessions.
Prevents muscle loss in those who are physically impaired.
