BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) in Grand-Saconnex
An innovative method for strengthening with less load
BFR (Blood Flow Restriction), also called occlusion training, is a technique used in physiotherapy and physical conditioning that allows for muscle strengthening with light loads.
At On Therapy, BFR is integrated into a modern approach to optimize recovery, limit joint strain, and accelerate progress.
What is BFR?
BFR consists of applying light compression to a limb (arm or leg) using a specific cuff to partially reduce venous return during exercise.
This makes it possible to:
- strongly stimulate the muscle
- achieve a reinforcing effect with little load
- Reproduce adaptations similar to intensive training
Why use BFR?
The BFR is particularly interesting for:
- strengthen without loading the joints
- avoid pain during exercise
- Accelerate muscle recovery
- Limit muscle loss
- Increase strength quickly
In which cases is it indicated?
The BFR is used in different situations:
- Rehabilitation after injury
- postoperative
- Pain preventing heavy lifting
- muscle loss
- Gradual return to sport
- injury prevention
It is suitable for many profiles, from rehabilitation patients to athletes.
