Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation for Tendonitis and Tissue Healing in Calgary
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) rehabilitation is a training technique where blood flow to a limb is purposefully and safely reduced during exercise. This intentional reduction in blood flow decreases the oxygen supply to the muscle in use, creating short-term, targeted stress that triggers the muscle to adapt by increasing in size and strength.
BFR offers several physiological benefits, including enhanced protein synthesis, increased muscle activation, and a boost in human growth hormone production. These benefits aid in the healing of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. As a result, BFR is an effective approach for recovering from acute or chronic injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and managing osteoarthritis. This technique can benefit a wide range of individuals, from athletes to those dealing with chronic pain or weakness, and older adults.
