Research Backed Hack to Hypertrophy
Strengthen muscles and tendons without the heavy load
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is quickly gaining popularity among Olympic and elite athletes as well as patients looking to recover from injury faster and more effecively. Dr. Jess is a certified provider in BFR, allowing her to help patients in a safe and effective manner. There are many evidence-based benefits of BFR ranging from injury recovery, Pre-surgery prep, performance gains via muscle strength and power, increasing VO2Max, weight loss, arthritis, increasing bone density. BFR simply allows patients who can’t tolerate high load/heavy weights to gain more muscle mass and strength with lighter loads.
- Reduce atrophy
- Make muscles bigger- gain strength
- VO2Max increases with regular useBike fit speaker at Medicine of Cycling
- Acute changes in neuro output that can increase force production and power
- Can increase bone density via low load resistance training
- Can augment positive changes on connective tissue structure/tendons
