Anecdotes abound about KAATSU use being associated with pain reduction or elimination. Most recently I heard of a person with a leg amputation who had been suffering with phantom limb pain for 17 years. Their pre-sleep routine (medically-sanctioned) was a ½ glass of...

I first heard the term "double-stacking" with KAATSU from Steven Munatones, CEO of KAATSU Global. The term refers to using KAATSU while doing ordinary, non-exercise activities. It could be something as simple as watching television, or doing household chores. You...

One of the things that impressed me the most when I was learning about KAATSU for the first time was the fact that the oldest known users was 104 years old. That kind of blew me away, to be honest. What I'd read about BFR training to that point was that it was the...

If you're in the Toronto area this weekend, drop in to the canfitpro trade show and visit us at booth 1507! canfitpro is the largest provider of education to personal trainers in the Canadian fitness industry. Each year they hold a global conference and trade show,...

People often think KAATSU is something that only those who work out can use. I agree that KAATSU is great in the gym, but the fact is KAATSU will "boost" the physiological effect of any kind of movement, no matter what you're doing, and no matter your fitness level....

I'm not going to suggest you wear KAATSU while on a trek through the Amazonian rain forest, but you probably could. The KAATSU C3 features a ruggedized, water-resistant design that protects it from moderate environmental exposure. KAATSU Air Bands are fully waterproof...

I'm not as young as I used to be. At least, that's what I'm being told more often by doctors, chiropractors, and physiotherapists. My body's telling me that as well, albeit in a different way. After cycling, kendo, or even a long day of yardwork my body is starting to...

Most recreational athletes don't know what "race pain" feels like. I'd seen this described in the KAATSU C3 manual but it was something I'd never experienced. Yesterday I took a training ride using my KAATSU C3 in Cycle Mode (High Pressure) on my legs while cycling....

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the University of New Brunswick to make a delivery to the Cardiometabolic Exercise & Lifestyle Laboratory (CELLAB). This lab is part of the Faculty of Kinesiology and studies physical activity, obesity, diabetes, and...

One of the beautiful things about using KAATSU is the Cycle Mode. It's a fully automated program that inflates the KAATSU Air Bands and holds pressure for 30 seconds before deflating for 5 seconds. Then it repeats the pattern but repressurizes the Air Bands at a...

In March I had the pleasure of meeting Toronto Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Bulletproof Human Potential Coach Nathalie Niddam. Nathalie is the creator and host of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast which features "cutting edge guests in the field of...

I had an interesting inquiry from a KAATSU user regarding the use of a Continuous Glucose Monitor with KAATSU. Our user wrote: The other day I put on an arm band so that I could position my CGM (continuous glucose monitor) correctly.  When I had it in place, I made...
