BFR is the application of a specialized tourniquet cuff to the proximal portion of an exercising arm or leg to allow blood into the limb--and restrict blood outflow from the limb--utilizing personalized tourniquet pressure. Exercising in this manner allows the use of low-intensity exercise to elicit positive adaptations in muscle size, strength, or endurance typically associated with much heavier loads or higher intensities. BFR is backed by extensive research that shows its effectiveness and safety. Professional sports teams and advanced sports medicine facilities use BFR with great results for conditions including, but not limited to, joint replacements, Achilles repairs, rotator cuff repairs, muscle strains, fractures, nerve injuries, sports medicine injuries, and other post-operative conditions.
