Blood Flow Restriction in Seattle, WA

After surgery, muscles can weaken and become unsupportive due to the rest required to recover. BFR accelerates recovery and keeps the muscles intact while you wait to resume regular activity.

While you recover from an injury, you want to keep your muscles strong while holding back from high-intensity exercises. Fractures, ligament tears, and muscle strains all require rest. However, BFR allows you to maintain muscle mass during the recovery period.

If you experience pain during high-intensity workouts, BFR can build your muscles while performing low-load exercises. Then, your muscles will be ready to support your workouts once the pain subsides.

After a prolonged rest period due to an injury or surgery recovery, you can build your muscles back up without shocking the system with heavy weights. BFR promotes a gradual increase in muscle strength and stamina.

When you pair BFR therapy with physical therapy, you can enjoy improved muscle strength and growth, reduced joint and bone stress, and optimized recovery. It’s ideal to be able to preserve muscle mass while minimizing pain. Additionally, BFR is a low-impact cardiovascular workout that will promote heart health while you wait to resume regular movement.

Exercise of any nature can feel inaccessible to those navigating body differences or musculoskeletal variations. Aligned with our goals of providing accessible care, our PTs are trained in utilizing tools like BFR to treat bodies of all kinds.

Chronic pain can severely limit daily activities; affecting physical mobility, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Many are unaware of the benefits of strength training in managing pain levels, as weight-bearing exercise cannot be tolerated.

BFR circumvents this by creating an artificial strain on the muscle, making it work harder without increasing pain or risking injury.
