Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training in Shreveport and lafayette, LA
What it is
Blood Flow Restriction Training uses a specialized cuff to gently limit blood flow to a limb while you perform light to moderate exercise. This controlled restriction creates a strong muscle-building signal without heavy loads. You get many benefits of traditional strength training with less joint stress and shorter sessions. Your FHPT clinician measures, fits, and monitors the cuff so pressure stays in a safe and effective range.
Who it helps
BFR is a smart option if heavy lifting is not possible right now. It supports clients after surgery, people with joint pain, athletes returning from injury, and anyone who needs strength without flare ups. It is also useful for older adults who want to build muscle while keeping joints comfortable, and for busy clients who want an efficient session that still moves the needle.
Why FHPT
Fulco & Hall Performance & Therapy delivers BFR under licensed clinical supervision. We do not guess on pressure. We use standardized protocols, real-time monitoring, and a program that matches your injury status and goals. Your session does not stop at the cuff. We combine BFR with targeted mobility and strength work so the gains carry over into real movement. Two clinics and a coordinated team make it easy to stay consistent from week to week.
How a typical session works
Screen and fit
Your therapist reviews your history, measures limb size, and selects the correct cuff.
Set pressure
We calibrate individualized pressure, so you get the training effect without excess discomfort.
Exercise block
You perform simple lifts like squats, step ups, leg extensions, curls, or presses with light loads.
Recovery and transition
Short rest periods are built in. We finish with mobility or activation work that supports the changes you just made.
Progress plan
Load, volume, or exercise selection is adjusted as strength and tolerance improve.
Benefits you can expect
Increased strength and muscle size with lighter weights
Better confidence with movement during rehab
Less joint stress while still training hard
Promotes muscle growth safely and efficiently
Faster return to daily tasks and sport skills
Improves circulation and vascular health
Safety and fit
Your therapist screens for conditions that may not fit BFR, such as certain vascular or clotting issues. We teach you what the right level of tightness feels like and we watch for any signs that the cuff needs adjustment. If BFR is not appropriate, we choose another evidence-based method that still moves you toward your goals.
