APTA Definition
Blood-flow restriction training can help patients to make greater strength training gains while lifting lighter loads, thereby reducing the overall stress placed on the limb.
By applying the right amount of external pressure to an extremity, it’s possible to maintain arterial inflow while excluding venous outflow distal to the occlusion site.
Strength – Growth – Recovery – Repair – Aerobic
Physiological Effect – Muscles engorge with blood – less O2 available to muscle – muscles fatigue – more motor units engaged – muscles increase in size and strength.
Systemic Effect – Stimulates hypothalmus – releases growth hormone (GHRH) – stimulates pituitary – release GH – aids MM growth & stimulates liver – releases IGF-1 (insulin growth factor) – IGF-1 stimulates bone growth, muscle growth, macrophages release – repair.
So what is the definition of practical? How about “easy to use”!

C.A.S.I. Blood Flow Restriction Cuffs 4 Strap Set
$255.00
When tightened, C.A.S.I. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Cuffs plus low-intensity exercise (LI), produce a systemic MetaBoost effect that results in the acceleration and amplification of the production and release of critical hormones (GHRH).
GHRH or growth-hormone-regulating hormone, causes a hormonal cascade resulting in increased strength, increased stamina, increased muscle size and definition, improved bone density, faster recovery, and pain reduction.
This effect is similar to that produced by High-Intensity Interval Training (HIITs) or Heavy Lifting but without damage to tissue and joints.
Studies show that when used to supplement traditional therapies after injury or surgery, the straps will speed recovery, decrease atrophy, and reduce pain.

To verify your size, measure the circumference of the limb ABOVE the bicep or the leg at the top of the thigh and below the glutes.
- Small fits 8″ to 13″ limb
- Regular fits 14″ to 20″ limb
- Large fits 18″ to 32″ limb
- X-Large fits 24″ to 40″ limb
The Regular size strap is designed to fit individuals placed between the 5th and 95th percentile in upper limb circumference based on health census data published by the United States Government.
The Large size strap is designed to fit individuals placed between the 5th and 95th percentile in lower limb circumference based on health census data published by the United States Government.
