Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training
Dry Needling
Taping
Myofascial release and joint mobilization
Blood Flow Restriction training, commonly known as BFR, is the use of a medical grade tourniquet to promote expedited soft tissue healing and muscle growth all under very light (easy) load. This is particularly beneficial for patients post-operatively, or with painful joints that need to strengthen but cannot tolerate using much weight. Â
​
Dry Needling as performed by physical therapists can be very helpful to alleviate painful trigger points in specific muscles. In this application it is targeted and is a part of a comprehensive treatment plan including corrective exercise to address the underlying cause of the overload that created the muscle tension in the first place.
​
Needling can also be utilized to engage with the nervous system in a positive way and for tissue homeostasis and remodeling.
​
Depending on a client's needs, either Rock taping or Dynamic Taping can be utilized to improve movement patterns by driving input through the skin or to reduce load through a specific part of the body (respectively).
​
These interventions take effect immediately and are simple to apply and to remove
Myofascial release is a type of therapeutic soft tissue work that involves pinning and stretching the involved muscle and fascia to improve freedom of movement.
​
Joint mobilization seeks to restore optimal joint kinematics where motion has been lost.
