Now offering Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Rehabilitation at Citadel Physiotherapy!

BFR is a specialized treatment that helps patients build strength and recover faster using low-load exercise — making it ideal when heavy strengthening isn’t possible yet.

It can be especially helpful for:
• ACL rehab
• Knee replacements
• Meniscus injuries
• Achilles injuries
• Ankle sprains
• Joint immobilization recovery

Whether you're recovering from surgery or working through an injury, BFR may help you regain strength sooner and safely.
