Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

The B3 Bands work through a technology called Blood Flow Restriction training, or BFR. When you wear the B3 Bands, it naturally and safely slows down your blood flow in your arms and legs.

With less blood flow your muscles have less available oxygen. With less oxygen your muscles fatigue faster and deeper. This quick and deeper fatigue creates ‘the burn’ feeling in your muscles also known as lactic acid, which promotes a release of Human Growth Hormone after BFR exercise.

Typical rehab cannot create a fatigue in fast twitch muscle fibers. Without activation & fatigue of fast twitch fibers, there is no increased growth hormone. Injured and repaired tissues heal slower without the benefit of growth hormone. BFR allows you to access and fatigue the fast twitch muscle fibers. By activating post exercise growth hormone healing time decreases significantly.

Additionally, the hypoxia created by BFR is similar to high intensity exercise, which promotes nitric oxide. Increased nitric oxide promotes increase blood flow to the tissues. Better blood flow results in faster clearing of inflammation and faster healing. Return to normal muscle strength and function increases significantly.
