Blood Flow Restriction Training Glendale AZ
BFrt is a method of training the muscles in an altered resting state, in this state the venous outflow is completely occluded, and the arterial inflow is partially occluded. To find the appropriate restriction with your BFrt bands we recommend a trained clinical professional to assist. At Wall 2 Wall Sports & Rehab we use the SmartCuff® technology system which is an FDA approved device. These bands have a significant amount of research and technology to guarantee the most safety and benefit.
At that point we remove the pump and leave the bands on the limb and take our clients through specific strengthening exercise protocols. We monitor pain levels and sensations through the exercise activity.
