Blood flow restriction

When injury or mobility limitations make heavy lifting difficult, blood flow restriction (BFR) can help you stay strong. At Aurora BayCare Medical Center, our rehabilitation experts use advanced BFR techniques to support your recovery – helping you regain strength safely and efficiently.

Blood flow restriction: Why choose Aurora BayCare Medical Center?

Our specialists have advanced training in cutting-edge rehabilitation techniques. Using a specialized tourniquet system, we safely reduce blood flow to your limb, allowing you to build strength with lighter weights. We stay at the forefront of clinical research to bring you the latest, most effective recovery methods.

How blood flow restriction works

Using a special tourniquet system, a band is placed on your thigh or upper arm and inflated to restrict blood flow. This restricted blood flow tricks your body into believing it’s working hard and leads to muscle growth and gaining strength through a low-intensity workout.

Our system precisely calculates and monitors pressure to optimize your treatment. Once set, you’ll perform targeted exercises designed by our experts, ensuring each session is both safe and effective.

Benefits of blood flow restriction

This therapy mimics the effects of high-intensity strength training while minimizing stress on healing tissues. You'll experience:

• Increased muscle mass
• Enhanced strength
• Improved exercise tolerance
• Reduced pain
