KAATSU Morning, Noon, & Night
I often use KAATSU three times a day. Some people think KAATSU can only be used while working out. While it's great for that, you can use KAATSU for other reasons that that. Here's what I do with my KAATSU. Please note: before using KAATSU more than once a day, you...
KAATSU Circulation 2: Hyperemia
When I first encountered KAATSU, I thought it was pretty obvious that any circulatory improvements would happen while wearing the KAATSU AirBands. As soon as I took them off, everything would go back to normal. That's what I thought, and I was wrong. Introducing:...
KAATSU Circulation 1: Mechanical
KAATSU systems consist of pneumatic AirBands® worn on the upper arms, or upper legs. These AirBands are pressurized and depressurized using small air compressors. When air is added to the AirBands, the bands inflate and exert pressure all around the limb, slightly...
KAATSU and the Circulatory System
The circulatory system is vital for maintaining human life and optimal health. Your heart, blood vessels, and blood work together in a closed system that transports nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and other essential substances throughout the body, in addition to...
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 This increasingly outdated practice is associated with an increased risk of Bad Stuff Happening.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...
