What is Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR)?

It is an evidence-based form of training that promotes improvements in strength and endurance at a lower intensity level of exercise by limiting the amount of blood flow supplied to the muscle being targeted.

Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) has been proven to increase strength and muscle size, decrease rehabilitation time, improve cardiovascular endurance, and increase the rate of recovery after strenuous exercise or athletic events.

What Should I Expect?

A cuff is fastened around the top of your arm or leg and pumped up until maximal occlusion of blood flow is measured.

The SmartCuffs Pro device will automatically adjust its pressure so that only a certain percentage of blood flow is restricted to the muscles while you exercise. Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) is not painful, but your muscles will fatigue more quickly.

Is it Safe?

Extensive research has been conducted regarding safety of Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR). It is not advised if you have cancer, unmanaged hypertension, lymphedema, active infection, impaired circulation, history of DVT, and other cardiac conditions.

As someone whose been often injured and seen over 15 PTs, I have no hesitation when saying that Dr. Dylann is in a class of his own. I’ve seen him for knee problems, elbow problems and back problems. He doesn’t just help you get better, or “fix” you, he makes sure that you know how to avoid ever being in that situation again. Whether it’s a stretching routine he’s customized for you, or a list of things you should avoid. He always goes that extra mile to make sure you know how to take care of yourself, which is something that really stands out to me.
