To build muscle size and strength, traditional exercise often requires lifting heavy weights at high intensity, which can be difficult for older adults or those recovering from injuries. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training allows you to achieve these muscle gains using lighter weights and lower intensity. It works by applying a tourniquet and occlusion technique to the working limb.
At Unify PT, we use the Delfi unit, the gold standard for BFR training. This advanced device controls occlusion levels precisely, optimizing your workout while enhancing muscle growth and recovery without heavy lifting.
One of the standout benefits of BFR training is its ability to stimulate muscle hypertrophy—essentially, muscle growth. Traditional resistance training usually requires heavy weights, which can be taxing on joints and increase the risk of injury for some. On the other hand, BFR allows individuals to work with lighter loads while still promoting significant muscle gains.
