Course Overview

Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an exercise technique that is transforming how we prescribe exercises therapy. By partially restricting blood flow to the muscles using specialized cuffs or bands, BFRT offers a range of benefits from muscle activation to advanced rehab training. Discover the benefits of blood flow restriction training with this course. From increasing muscle activation and muscle growth to enhancing strength and endurance. BFRT can even help reduce pain. BFRT is a science-based approach—over 800 articles published in the last 10 years—that can be safely prescribed to diverse populations from young to old, from patients to athletes.
