Blood Flow Restriction Training
One of the biggest frustrations during rehabilitation is being told what you can't do.
You can't run yet. You can't lift heavy yet. You need to take it easy for a few more weeks.
The problem is that strength, fitness and confidence can quickly decline during that time.
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training gives us another option. By combining specialised cuffs with low-load exercise, we can challenge muscles and build strength without the same demands that heavy lifting places on joints, tendons and healing tissues.
Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing an injury or working towards a return to sport, BFR can be a valuable tool within a structured rehabilitation programme.
Who is BFR training for?
After Surgery
ACL reconstruction
Knee replacement
Shoulder surgery
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Muscle injuries
Tendon injuries
Ligament injuries
Active Adults
Joint pain limiting heavy gym work
Strength loss after injury
Returning to exercise
Athletes and Runners
Maintaining strength during rehabilitation
Return-to-sport programmes
Performance-focused strength work
What happens in a session?
Assessment → Determine if BFR is appropriate.
Cuff fitting → Measure individual limb occlusion pressure.
Exercise programme → Low-load strengthening exercises.
Progression → Integrated into your wider rehabilitation plan.
