B3 BFR Bands in Therapy and Rehab

Phase 1: After Injury / Surgery – Exercise Non-injured Body parts with B3 Bands

When you have injury or surgery there are 2 natural substances that can significantly speed the healing and recovery time: Nitric Oxide and Growth Hormone

When you do exercises on a non-injured set of arms or legs and achieve ‘the burn’ for a 5-10 minutes, your body will release these two substances that will have a big impact.

When can you start: As soon as you are 48 hours post injury/surgery, and your doctor has not placed any limitations on you being up and moving around,  and you do not have any active bleeding or swelling

Frequency: Every other day

Continue to work the non-injured limbs 2 – 3 days per week throughout the entire rehab and recovery process.

Phase 2: Beginning Rehab on the injured body part with the B3 Bands.

As soon as you are released to start rehab, or you begin a prescribed rehab program, you can add the B3 Bands.

The B3 Bands will allow you to get a deeper fatigue (burn) in muscles without aggravating the injury. Deeper fatigue will result in faster recovery.

Limit the B3 Bands to 10 minutes on the affected arm or leg.

Phase 3: Functional Strengthening with the B3 Bands.

After you are finished with active or prescribed rehab, you can continue to use the B3 Bands to further strengthen your injured body part.

Our Program for Low Back is very simple

1 - Light Upper Body workout with the Bands. At the end do 1 Plank to Failure
2 – Light Lower Body workout with the Bands. At the end do 1 Plank to Failure
3 – If doing walking or run, bike, swim? At the end do 1 Plank to Failure

Do this for 30 days and you should see a nice change in your Back.

I know this seems simple, but that takes care of most people’s issues.

It works because you have Nitric Oxide circulating when you do the Plank, and Growth Hormone after to speed adaptation and healing.

Plank is an excellent exercise for stretching the anterior body muscles and strengthening the posterior body muscles which are commonly out of balance.

Planks by themselves would be much less effective than doing them at the end of a BFR Session!

To progress further, after 30 days, do multiple sets of Planks at the end.
