Personalized blood flow restriction (PBFR)
PBFR: an innovative technique to quickly recover strength and muscle mass after trauma or surgery
Personalized Blood Flow Restriction (PBFR) is an innovative method used in the fields of rehabilitation and re-athletization, as well as in the world of sports. This technique was originally developed for the rehabilitation of war injuries.
PBFR is employed in the treatment of issues related to the lower and upper limbs. This technique is based on the restriction of blood flow, performed through a specific device.
Thanks to the restriction of blood flow, it is possible to perform training sessions with high metabolic stress but reduced joint stress, allowing the patient to quickly recover strength and muscle mass.
This method is indicated in the treatment of post-surgical musculoskeletal issues (e.g., after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, articular cartilage repair, rotator cuff repair, post-Achilles tendon suture), acute and chronic tendinitis, muscle injuries, or in increasing muscle mass, allowing for the early initiation of resistance and hypertrophy phases.
The benefits of Personalised Blood Flow Restriction PBFR
- Promotes the increase of strength and muscle mass
- Allows for training with reduced joint stress
- Effective vascular exercise
- Reduces functional recovery times
