I am often asked how often one can use KAATSU. The answer often surprises people, but it probably shouldn't. Your frequency of use will depend on you, your unique physical condition, and your goals. Three Times Per Day Yes, you can use KAATSU up to three times per...

Just a quick video to say THANK YOU for all who've helped us along the way as we celebrate one year of KAATSU Canada!

I was chatting with a customer today and they said something that made me laugh. "KAATSU's not a microwave!" Sorry - that just cracked me up, again 🙂 Indeed, KAATSU is not like a microwave. To get the most out of it, you're going to have to put in some effort. Using...

Inflammation is common after exercising. Stress on your tendons, ligaments, fascia, and muscles is unavoidable, but how you deal with the inflammation in your body afterwards can help determine how well and quickly you recover. If you're looking for a non-drug method...

Dr. Joe Mercola has put together a very thorough article on KAATSU, its mechanisms, and why he feels it's "the best strategy I know of to increase muscle size". You can find the article here. If you have the time (about 30 minutes in his estimation), it's a good read.

I have great respect for medical, therapy, athletic, and fitness professionals. They provide a valuable service when it comes to keeping one fit and healthy. The guidance they provide can be crucial to the success of one's health endeavours whether you're looking to...

There's something I think you should know about KAATSU. I'm afraid it might blow your mind, especially if you think you knew everything there was to know about BFR. Still, I'm going to tell you, because you deserve to know. It might just change what you know about BFR...

I had an interesting question posed to me today. "Can you use KAATSU when doing cold water immersion?" My thoughts are that perhaps the two don't go together. Peripheral blood vessels constrict during cold water immersion (CWI) as blood is pulled to the core of the...

One of the most surprising things about KAATSU is the fact that you can get stronger without needing heavy weights. This seemed most counterintuitive to me. When I was starting with KAATSU, I was going through a certification to become a personal trainer. KAATSU...

Ah - the joys of Canadian weather! Today was sunny, 5°C, with dry roads and almost no wind, so I got out for a new year's ride - just a day late! One of the great things about KAATSU is the ability to use it to recover from athletic activities. The patented KAATSU...

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023! Let's hope it will be better than 2022. For me, I tried to go for a bike ride on January 1st, but got rained out. Yes - rained out - in Canada. I was thinking I'd be snowed out instead 😉 I only got out for 4 km, but that's better than...

I was watching a video of Simon Sinek this morning. Simon talks about business, goals, money, and people in ways that inspire. He gave a very interesting analogy this morning about the relationship between money and a business. If a business is a car, money is the...
