BLOOD FLOW
RESTRICTION

TRAINING

WE USE SMART CUFFS, H+ CUFFS
AND AIR BANDS

BFR is the brief and intermittent occlusion of venous blood flow while exercising. You train at significantly lower loads - typically 20-30% of your 1RM - while triggering the same hypertrophy and strength response as heavy lifting.

WHY IT WORKS:

Restricting venous outflow while maintaining arterial inflow creates metabolic stress and cellular swelling - triggering muscle protein synthesis without joint-loading stress. Ideal post-surgery, during injury, or for faster performance gains.

 

  • TRAIN AT 20-30% OF 1RM

    • Same gains, without the joint stress

  • REDUCED PAIN DURING REHAB

    • Decreased pain perceptions during training sessions​

  • FASTER RECOVERY TIMELINE

    • Accelerate return-to-sport after surgery or injury.​​

MANUAL THERAPY

When appropriate, targeted manual therapy can be a very useful tool to help alleviate pain and discomfort, and improve joint and tissue mobility. Here are a few of the specific manual therapy techniques we employ

  • COUNTERSTRAIN

    • Jones Institute

  • INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION

    • IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a targeted manual therapy technique that helps improve tissue mobility, reduce pain, and restore movement.​

  • SPINAL MANIPULATION

    • Neck, back, ribs and SIJ adjustments

  • PERIPHERAL JOINT MANIPULATION​

    • Joint manipulation of the extremities such as the shoulder, knee, hip and ankles.​

  • THERAPEUTIC CUPPING​

    • Myofascial decompression for soft tissue release

  • MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE
