Blood flow restriction therapy, also known as occlusion training or BFR, is a technique used by physical therapists at Peak Rehab to enhance muscle strength and promote healing. 

This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who are recovering from injuries or surgeries and are unable to perform high-intensity exercises. By restricting blood flow, the muscles are forced to work harder and fatigue more quickly, leading to increased strength and endurance. BFR therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a range of conditions, including muscle atrophy, tendon injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. BFR is used in conjunction with other physical therapy techniques to enhance overall rehabilitation.

​

Overall, BFR therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for patients at Peak Rehab who are looking to improve muscle strength and expedite their return to running or sport. Your physical therapist can evaluate your condition and determine if BFR therapy is an appropriate treatment option for you.
