Experience the benefits of high-intensity training with less strain on muscles, tendons and joints with blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT).
Coach Amy applies an FDA-approved pressure cuff to your extremities at a controlled- and carefully-prescribed pressure. This minimizes the blood flow to and from your muscles during customized physical therapy treatments and performance training workouts.
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy
Minimizing blood flow to your muscles tricks the neuromuscular system (the connection from your brain and spinal cord to your muscles) into responding as though engaged in higher-intensity exercise. Experience bigger gains with less strain.
Blood flow Restriction Therapy is validated with scientific evidence to:
Increase strength and size
Attenuate muscle atrophy
Promote recovery during training for sports performance
Improve cardiovascular function
Aid in the rehabilitation of injury with faster outcomes
Enhance pre-surgical physical therapy (prehab)
How does this help?
“Working with Coach Amy PT is a game changer! Amy introduced me to Blood Flow Restriction Therapy for my hip joint arthritis. Her expertise with the technique allowed me to improve my strength and mobility without placing excessive stress on the joints. Now I can play tennis, do strength training and cycle while delaying the need for joint replacement. I’m so grateful for her knowledge and proactive expertise in offering innovative therapies in physical therapy treatment and her focus on long-term injury prevention.”
