Discover the Benefits of Vasopneumatic Therapy at Physician’s Spine & Rehab
Have you ever encountered the term vasopneumatic therapy? It’s not a commonly offered treatment at all healthcare centers, but at Physician’s Spine & Rehab, we take pride in including it among our highly effective treatment methods.
Vasopneumatic compression devices are considered a fundamental technique for therapists. This underscores the importance of selecting a healthcare facility that offers vasopneumatic therapy, as it might be the optimal treatment for your specific needs. To explore the advantages of this therapy and how it can potentially enhance your well-being, we encourage you to reach out to us today.
Understanding Vasopneumatic Therapy Vasopneumatic therapy, also known as blood flow restriction training (BFRT), involves the use of specialized cuffs to regulate blood flow to active muscles. The pressure applied by these compression devices is precise, effectively reducing blood flow at a rate of 50-80% within the targeted muscle groups. Extensive research has confirmed the safety of these devices.
This therapy is based on the theory that these treatments induce a “local hypoxic event,” temporarily reducing oxygen supply to the tissues in the affected area. Paradoxically, this local hypoxia aids in the accumulation of metabolites, facilitating the regulation of the body’s anabolic response system, responsible for muscle protein synthesis during exercise. Essentially, restricting blood flow in the affected area promotes increased muscle protein production.
Vasopneumatic therapy has proven effective in addressing a wide range of upper and lower body injuries, and it also serves as a valuable rehabilitation tool following medical procedures. The compression devices used in vasopneumatic therapy are customized to deliver precisely calibrated pressure, ensuring that patients can perform targeted exercises to achieve their desired outcomes.
The Purpose of Vasopneumatic Therapy when engaging in exercises as part of vasopneumatic therapy, the primary goal is to fatigue the affected area, thereby stimulating the body’s innate healing and tissue-building processes. This approach allows for the same desired benefits as traditional methods but with just 30% of the normal load required.
This significant reduction in load minimizes the strain on joints and surgical sites, enabling strengthening where traditional methods may not be feasible. The result is a quicker recovery, allowing you to return to your regular activities and lifestyle with minimal delay.
