Dr. Joseph Mercola with Steven Munatones: The History of Blood Flow Moderation Training KAATSU

    • Health & Fitness

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Blood Flow Moderation (BFM) training was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato in 1966. There, it’s known as KAATSU, which translates into “additional pressure”
KAATSU, known more generically as Blood Flow Modification, was introduced outside of Japan by Steven Munatones after a 13-year-long mentorship by Sato
Aside from dramatically improving muscle tone, BFM is also a wonderful tool for post-surgical rehabilitation, allowing you to regain physical function in a fraction of the time that you would normally anticipate
KAATSU is very safe, even for those with cardiovascular issues, and can also benefit those who are bedridden or paraplegic
The original KAATSU device became commercially available in 2006 and was quite large, heavy and bulky, with a $16,600 price tag. Since then, the technology has improved, gotten much smaller and is far less expensive
