The Benefits of Blood Flow Restriction

VASPR was originally developed in Japan by Katsu, where they were putting tourniquets around muscles and constricting them really to high degrees. The goal is not to promote sweating, but to simulate a very intense exercise without sweating or body temperature rising. So we use a liquid cooled device that gives you the sense of swimming in a cool swimming pool or a lake without getting wet. We also barefoot on the machine so you will cool your feet at the same time.
