At the White House Clinic, we are proud to introduce our latest addition in fitness and rehabilitation treatments – Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)Training. This innovative service is designed to amplify your workouts and expedite your recovery, ensuring you achieve peak performance whilst prioritising your well-being.

What is Blood Flow Restriction Training:

BFR is a technique that involves the use of specialised cuffs to partially restrict blood flow to your muscles during exercise. This controlled restriction creates a unique physiological response, enhancing the effectiveness of your workout by creating muscular fatigue without the need for heavy weights.

Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Training:

Reduced atrophy following injury or surgery: BFR training is a valuable tool in rehabilitation, aiding in muscle recovery, reducing atrophy and prevention further injuries by creating muscular fatigue with reduced stress on the muscles, joints or ligaments.
Accelerated muscle growth and strength improvement: By restricting blood flow, BFR training induces metabolic stress and increases the release of growth hormone, leading to enhanced muscle hypertrophy and strength gains
Cardiovascular health: The controlled blood flow restriction stimulates cardiovascular adaptations, promoting improved endurance and overall cardiovascular health.
Efficient workouts: With lower loads and shorter workout durations, BFR training provides an efficient alternative to traditional resistance training, making it suitable for individuals with time constraints.

Our team of experienced professionals understands that each individual is unique, and their fitness journey should be no different. With Blood Flow Restriction Training, we tailor the intensity and duration of the restriction to match your specific needs and goals. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance performance or someone recovering from an injury, our personalised approach ensures that you receive the optimum benefits from this cutting-edge service.

FAQs

How is the pressure applied during BFR Training determined?

The pressure during BFR Training is personalised based on individual factors such as limb size, fitness level, goals and limb occlusion pressure (closely linked with blood pressure).

How often should one engage in BFR Training?

The frequency of BFR Training sessions is based on individual goals and fitness levels. Typically 2-3 sessions per week are recommended but a personalised approach is crucial to ensure optimal results whilst avoiding overtraining.

Are there any contraindications for BFR Training?

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis, hypertension and cardiovascular disease may have contraindications for BFR Training. We ask that you take part in our simple health screening prior to starting BFR Training.
