Restricting your blood flow sounds like a dangerous thing to do, but it's exactly what some Olympians, athletes, and surgery and physical therapy patients have done to strengthen their muscles and speed up recovery.
Restricting your blood flow sounds like a dangerous thing to do, but it's exactly what some Olympians, athletes, and surgery and physical therapy patients have done to strengthen their muscles and speed up recovery.
The origins of this practice go back to 1966, when -- while sitting on his heels during a Japanese temple ceremony -- Yoshiaki Sato noticed his calves felt tingly and pumped up. Sato wondered if his limited blood flow was the key to experiencing that sensation, said Steven Munatones, the CEO of KAATSU, an eponymous blood flow restriction product and education company.
Groups for whom blood flow restriction might not be appropriate include people with hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, arterial calcification, a history of blood clots and medications or conditions causing higher risk of clotting, venous thromboembolism, vascular diseases, sickle cell anemia, cancer, poor circulatory systems or open fracture, these experts said.
