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 This increasingly outdated practice is associated with an increased risk of Bad Stuff Happening.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...

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

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...
Vancouver Bound!
We are happy to have many KAATSU users in beautiful British Columbia. I think on the whole, folks in British Columbia are quite health-conscious. One of my goals this year was to make it to B.C., and that goal will be realized next week. I will be arriving in...
