What specific benefits can Blood Flow Restriction Therapy offer in terms of treating your condition and improving your overall well-being?
-
Blood flow restriction (BFR) rehabilitation involves briefly and intermittently blocking blood flow in veins using a tourniquet while exercising.
-
BFR allows for exercising with lighter weights while still promoting muscle growth and strength.
-
Personalized pressure is essential in BFR, determined by factors such as limb size, soft tissue density, blood pressure, tourniquet placement, and width.
-
A specialized tourniquet system with monitoring is used by healthcare providers to ensure safe and effective BFR.
-
Specific exercises are prescribed based on the rehabilitation plan once personalized pressure is determined.
-
BFR induces a buildup of lactate in muscles, leading to a feeling of hard work during the exercise session.
-
Positive effects of BFR include increased growth hormone and muscle growth factors, as well as enhanced muscle protein synthesis.
-
Proper nutrition guidelines are advised to maximize the positive effects of BFR.
