Discover the Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR)

At Ouachita Physical Therapy, we offer an innovative and highly effective approach known as Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR). This specialized therapy, also referred to as BFR training, blood flow restriction, occlusion training, or blood restriction training, has gained recognition for its ability to enhance rehabilitation and optimize physical performance.


What is Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR)?

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy is a unique and evidence-based approach to rehabilitation and strength training. It involves the controlled application of pressure to the limbs during exercise. By restricting blood flow to the working muscles while maintaining arterial inflow, BFR training promotes significant physiological adaptations. This therapy is especially valuable for individuals who may have limitations that prevent them from lifting heavy weights or engaging in high-intensity exercise.
