Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is a novel strengthening technique utilitarian in many conditions. But there is lack of exploration on this clinical intervention. The training can prove to be a boon in many conditions such as muscle weakness, degenerative among others. It can serve to be an essential treatment in prevention of disuse atrophy occurring on the initial days of bed-rest on post surgical patients and improve circulation. BFRT with aerobic activities can improve cardiovascular fitness and holistically help in rehabilitation. The electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholars were reviewed including the reference lists to retrieve relevant information regarding the topic. The result of the review states that BFRT is a novel strength training program that has not been explored in India but is very effective, less expensive and innovative way of rehabilitation. The utility of BFRT is evident in post-operative disuse atrophy in the initial days of bed-rest. The evidence depict that BFRT is a very effective training modality that can efficiently improve the muscle function, strength and mass.
