That cuff on her thigh? It’s blood flow restriction (BFR) training. 👇
🔹 What it is: A small cuff, set to a pressure that’s right for you, that limits how much blood flows back out of the working muscle. It never fully shuts blood flow off.
🔹 Why it works: Light loads with BFR can build strength and muscle similar to heavy lifting, which is great when you’re not ready for heavy loading yet.
🔹 Why we use it in rehab: She’s rehabbing her ankle, and the muscles above it stay active while the injury gets the protection it needs.
🔹 Who it’s for: Not everyone. We screen your health history and blood pressure first, and a DPT sets it up.
