We have 3 Physical Therapy locations to serve you - La Jolla serving the San Diego area, Chula Vista and La Mesa. BFR training can safely be performed under the supervision of our trained therapists in any of our San Diego county clinics. It can be used on patients in the acute phase of rehabilitation following most upper or lower extremity surgeries, including ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy, hip/knee replacement, rotator cuff repair or any tendon repair. Through research, we know BFR can minimize loss of muscle mass and decrease bony healing time during the early immobilization phases. Improved muscle size and strength without the stress of heavy lifting on healing soft tissue is the result. Benefits may also occur for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteopenia or osteoporosis. BFR therapy can also be beneficial for patients who have suffered from strokes or spinal cord. Athletes wanting to improve their performance can also benefit.
