Rehab & Recovery with KAATSU

Whether you undergo surgery, are recovering from an injury, face physical limitations, or experience minor aches and pains, the rehabilitation process can be slow and frustrating.

Incorporating KAATSU’s noninvasive protocols into your rehabilitation regime can enhance your recovery as well as your overall level of fitness.

Using KAATSU can help you:

Recover faster from injuries
Reduce muscle atrophy
Provide more benefits with less strain

Learn more below about how KAATSU’s proven benefits can help you with your rehabilitation and recovery needs.

KAATSU Rehabilitation Benefits

Human Grown Hormone (HGH) is known to speed recovery from injuries due to its positive effects on cell proliferation. Using KAATSU triggers the body to secrete higher levels of HGH. One study showed the resting HGH level after KAATSU was 290 times normal! Higher levels of HGH can help hasten recovery.

Injury recovery often requires people to rest, stay in bed, and limit movement, resulting in significant muscle atrophy. KAATSU applied during this phase of recovery has been shown to reduce muscle atrophy, allowing rehabilitation to proceed faster once the mobility issues are removed.

Incorporating KAATSU into an overall physical therapy program has been shown to be beneficial for people with more severe physical limitations due to spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy.

KAATSU for Recovery (Athletic & Otherwise)

Recovery is a crucial component of any active lifestyle. Using KAATSU to enhance your blood circulation and reset your physiology will help your body feel its best in a shorter period of time. It’s a proven, safe technology that anyone can use to feel better, sooner.

Whether you’ve just finished a hard workout or a competition, KAATSU will help you recover faster. Athletes use KAATSU between heats at races to help speed up their body’s natural recovery processes. Better circulation makes for better recovery.

Because KAATSU Works as both a low-impact warm-up and a dynamic way to optimize your body’s recovery, you can perform at your best every time you step on the field, gym, workout mat, treadmill, return from the office, or a long hike or bike ride. Going into an activity without warming up well cause more stress on your body. Use KAATSU to warm up so you can perform better and recover faster.

How KAATSU Boosts Circulation

KAATSU equipment consists of pneumatic AirBands and small compressors.

The compressor(s) inflate and deflate the AirBands which then gently squeeze the upper arm (or leg).

This additional pressure compresses the superficial blood vessels (veins) in the limb, modifying blood flow back to the heart.

The heart and arteries keep pumping blood into the limb. That blood needs to go somewhere, so the veins and capillaries expand slightly to take in additional blood. This engorgement of the vasculature forces blood to the furthest capillaries in the limb, pushing nutrient-rich blood to where it’s needed most.

When the KAATSU AirBands deflate, the blood vessels contract back to their normal size, pushing out the blood and helping remove metabolic waste from the tissues.
