Blood Flow Restriction Therapy in CT
Enhance strength, accelerate recovery, and improve performance with expert blood flow restriction therapy in Connecticut.
What is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy?
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy is an advanced rehabilitation technique that uses specialized cuffs to partially restrict blood flow to targeted muscles during low-intensity exercises. By limiting blood flow, BFR creates a controlled environment that mimics the effects of high-intensity training, stimulating muscle growth, strength, and endurance without the need for heavy lifting. This makes it an ideal therapy for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries.
At Body in Motion PT, we offer blood flow restriction therapy in CT to help clients safely build strength, accelerate recovery, and improve overall function. BFR therapy is especially beneficial for those with joint pain, limited mobility, or muscle weakness, as it promotes healing and strength gains while reducing stress on the body.

The controlled restriction and release of blood flow improve circulation, which aids in tissue healing and recovery.
