Blood flow restriction therapy is used at Brain and Body Health specifically to strengthen muscles quickly that we have found to be weak and contributing to your pain. We use this therapy in many different types of upper and lower limb injuries. The research shows that 2-3 days a week of low-intensity blood flow restriction training results in significant muscle hypertrophy. So, what this means is that with blood flow restriction tools we are tricking your body into thinking it’s done a bigger workout than it really has and that makes your muscles grow!
