KAATSU Jet Lag Protocols✈️
Over decades of intercontinental travel between Japan, Europe, and the USA, KAATSU Global developed unique ways to use the KAATSU Cycle mode to help travelers combat jet lag across multiple time zones. This step-by-step approach may help you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to go!

Basic Guidelines
- Do KAATSU Cycles before boarding at the departing airport. 🔄
- Stay well hydrated throughout the flight 💧
- Do a series of KAATSU Cycles before or after the in-flight meal. 🍽️
- Complete additional KAATSU Cycles before landing. 🔄
- In your hotel, do gentle KAATSU Cycles before bedtime in the new location. 🌙
- Always use conservative (low) pressure settings for optimal comfort. 🧘

The KAATSU protocols are separated into 3 different recommendations based on our intercontinental travel experiences over the last 20 years.

Assumption: KAATSU Cycles are done in the economy-class section. In cases where the KAATSU user is in business class or first class, there is much more space and comfort to do KAATSU, especially on one's legs.

Short-haul Flights (under 3 hours) 🕒
Note: generally, the short-haul flights are not exceeding 2 time zones.
1. Do 2-4 KAATSU Cycles in morning and/or at the airport. It can be done on your legs and/or arms as you prefer.
2. For economy-class short-haul flights, the seats tend to be the most narrow and the flights tend to be the most crowded. Under these conditions, the KAATSU Air Bands are more difficult to put on your legs. Focus on doing KAATSU Cycles on your arms in this case.
3. If a morning flight, do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles on your arms shortly after leveling off.
4. Stay well hydrated.
5. After KAATSU Cycles are completed, you can rest, work, listen to music, or watch movies for the rest of the flight.
6. Do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles on way to hotel or once in hotel. If at the hotel, doing KAATSU Cycles on the legs feels good while unpacking and getting ready to go out.

Medium-haul Flights (3-6 hours) 🕒
Note: generally, the medium-haul flights are exceeding 3-4 time zones.
1. Do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles in morning and/or at the airport. It is best to do KAATSU Cycles first on the arms and then on the legs.
2. For economy-class medium-haul flights, the seats tend to be the more narrow than longer flights. The flights tend to be the crowded. Under these conditions, the KAATSU Air Bands are more difficult to put on your legs. Focus on doing KAATSU Cycles on your arms only.
3. If a morning flight, do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles on your arms shortly after leveling off.
4. Always stay well hydrated while staying away from alcohol.
5. After initial set of KAATSU Cycles are completed, you can rest, work, listen to music, or watch movies for the rest of the flight.
6. You can also do KAATSU Cycles again at your hotel before going to bed. At the hotel, doing KAATSU Cycles on the legs feels good while unpacking and getting ready to go out or to bed.
Note: avoid doing vigorous exercises with the KAATSU equipment before bedtime - this will stimulate adrenalin, not your parasympathetic system.

Long-haul Flight (over 6 hours) 🕒
Note: generally, the long-haul flights are exceeding 5-6 time zones ​and many times, many more time zones
1. Do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles in morning and/or at the airport. It is best to do KAATSU Cycles first on your arms and then on your legs.
2. For economy-class long-haul flights, the seats can have enough room to do KAATSU Cycles on your legs. If possible and if comfortable do KAATSU Cycles on your arms first and then your legs.
3. If a morning flight, do 2-6 KAATSU Cycles on your arms shortly after leveling off. Follow up with 2-6 KAATSU Cycles on your legs.
4. Always stay well hydrated preferably with water (no alcohol).
5. After initial set of KAATSU Cycles are completed, you can rest, work, listen to music, or watch movies for the rest of the flight.
6. It is also best to do KAATSU Cycles again towards the end of the flight with the same protocol. If not possible, do once in hotel before going to bed. At the hotel, doing KAATSU Cycles on the legs feels good while unpacking and getting ready to go out.
Note: avoid doing vigorous exercises with the KAATSU equipment before bedtime - this will stimulate adrenalin, not your parasympathetic system.
