How Long Does the C4 Run?
For those of you who read my last blog post talking about how long the KAATSU B2 would run on a single charge, this blog post should come as no surprise. It's a follow-up post, this time talking about the KAATSU C4's battery life. And, it should be no surprise to...
How Long Does the B2 Run?
We get asked every so often about how long KAATSU batteries last. I'd tested out the KAATSU B1 and C3 models, but I hadn't gotten around to testing the KAATSU B2 or C4. I thought I'd start with the KAATSU B2. Why the B2? Because I use it most often. Why do you use it...
Can You Mitigate DST Risks with KAATSU?
Here we go, again. Daylight Savings Time (DST) is upon us. This increasingly outdated practice is associated with an increased risk of Bad Stuff Happening. Shifting the time by one hour doesn't seem like it should be such a big issue, but apparently it is. Research...
Can You Build Muscle with Light Weights?
Contrary to "common knowledge", it is possible to get stronger using light weights. You can grow muscle as long as you have an "Adaptive Stress Stimulus". That's just a fancy way of saying you need to stress your muscles enough to cause them to grow. What the science...
Self Love and KAATSU
My wife and I went out for Valentines Day yesterday. We'll be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this September. Not that we're not romantic, but going out a day early avoids the stampede of other couples that will undoubtedly fill our favourite restaurant...

Above: Louis Chartier n.d. (left), Wilfred (right) In his 60’s, Wilfred began having serious issues with his balance. He was suffering from constant dizziness and would fall easily. When asked to describe how he felt, Wilfred said it like always being on a boat...
0% Financing Available
Believe me, when I saw the price tag for KAATSU, I gave it some serious thought before committing to purchase. I had already spent over $5000 for two rounds of therapy to rehab my torn Achilles tendon. The chiropractor treating me said KAATSU would help me...
Our KAATSU Corner
Our headquarters for KAATSU Canada is a home office. It's not often that we have people drop by, but when they do, we head over to our little "KAATSU Corner" where we keep some of our demo units handy. So, what's on the wall? Even though the KAATSU C3 has been...
Double Stacking with KAATSU C4
The KAATSU terminology of "double-stacking" refers to the use of KAATSU in Cycle mode while doing non-exercise tasks. Using KAATSU while doing office work, household chores, relaxing, or commuting would constitute double-stacking. While it seems counterintuitive to...
Going, Going . . . Gone!
Today, we shipped out the last of our KAATSU C3 Bundles. It's exciting that we'll be receiving our first shipment of KAATSU C4 units shortly. At the same time, it's kind of bittersweet, as I started my own KAATSU journey with the C3. KAATSU Canada will be supporting...
Welcome to 2024!
Here we are in a new year. Welcome to 2024! This is the first "real" day for many this year, yesterday being spent recovering from New Year's Eve. So, what's new for KAATSU Canada this year? The end of 2023 saw the launch of two new products: the KAATSU B2 and KAATSU...
KAATSU International Symposium
The 19th KAATSU Symposium was held yesterday, Sunday, December 3rd. This meeting is held in Japan, and the last few years it's been done virtually. Since it's in Japan and held in Japanese, it's not typically been available to non-Japanese KAATSU users. Since I speak...
