Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) is performed by applying a tourniquet, similar to a blood pressure cuff, around the upper most part of the legs or arms. Once the cuff is in place, it is set to a specific amount of pressure for each patient. At that time, the individual can then perform exercises with the cuff on, while it remains inflated.

​

If you're injured or in pain, it makes it really difficult to perform exercises, let alone perform them with an intensity that will improve muscle size and strength. BFR allows you to perform exercises at a very low intensity and weight, but the muscle will grow in strength and size like you are lifting much heavier.
