Steven Munatones is the co-founder and CEO of Kaatsu. Steven has started several companies and, with his company Kaatsu, he is currently enabling people, from wounded warriors and paraplegics to Olympic and professional athletes, to rehabilitate more quickly, effectively and conveniently, and enabling older, sedentary individuals to improve their blood circulation and muscle tone.
“We use these bands as a catalyst to create an engorgement of blood in the limbs and that is the kickstarter to a variety of hormonal and metabolic responses in the body.”
“Our oldest user is 104 years old; we have another user who is 95. They just want to continue a quality of life, they want to be able to open up a jar, they want to be able to wash their hair easily, and they want to sweep around their house. Just to handle these things they need to maintain their muscle mass.”
“With older people, it’s also a very critical thing that we are standing, sitting, standing, sitting, standing, sitting to teach them that when you might trip, the last thing we want is for them to fall and break a bone. If they can catch themselves, maybe they don’t break their bone. Maybe they catch themselves and they’re able to not have to go to the ER.”
