Build Strength Without Stress • Recover Faster • Prevent Muscle Loss
A specialized cuff (like a surgical tourniquet) is applied to your arm or leg to partially restrict blood flow.
You perform light, guided exercises—typically at just 20–30 % of your usual load.
The restricted outflow combined with low-load exercise triggers muscle hypertrophy and strength gains akin to heavy lifting but without joint strain.
Significant muscle strength & size gains with very light loads
Preservation of muscle during recovery periods or immobilization
Less pain and joint stress compared to conventional resistance training.
Enhanced cardiovascular, endocrine, and psychosocial outcomes in various patient groups
Performance boosts such as improved sprinting, jumping power, and endurance when used with athletes
Personalized Cuff Pressure Assessment
To ensure safety and precision, we calculate cuff occlusion pressure based on limb size and patient tolerance.
Low‑Load Exercise Activation
Under professional supervision, you perform targeted exercises—typically at low resistance—for optimal neuromuscular stimulus with minimal overload.
Structured Monitoring & Progression
We reassess regularly, adjusting cuff pressure and exercise load based on your progress, comfort, and clinical goals.
Most patients undergo 2–6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. Strength, muscle size, and functional improvements are often seen within weeks. Progress is routinely monitored to guide continued care.
