Experience the Benefits of CVAC Therapy
Feeling weighed down by chronic pain, sluggishness, or post-workout fatigue? CVAC therapy can be your key to feeling lighter and better. CVAC therapy embraces a different approach to well-being – one that harnesses the power of controlled atmospheric shifts.
Sweat smarter, feel better
What is CVAC Therapy?
CVAC Therapy is based on the benefits created by constant and rapid pressure changes. As you sit in the pod, an external vacuum pump adjusts the barometric pressure inside, simulating increases and decreases in altitude that range from sea level to over 22,500 feet. Just like exercise training requires the body to adapt to increased workloads to improve fitness, the dynamically cycling changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, and air density of a CVAC session require the body to respond similarly. So, in a CVAC session, your fitness is improved by increased effort; and the challenges (or effort) are provided by varied changes in air pressure. The body naturally adapts to this increased demand and improves and accelerates fitness even more.

CVAC therapy involves sitting in a pod-like chamber, experiencing controlled changes in air pressure and temperature. This stimulates the body’s natural responses, potentially improving circulation and oxygen utilization. Key benefits may include enhanced athletic performance and recovery, as well as potential cardiovascular and metabolic benefits. It’s an innovative approach to wellness.
Athletic Performance
While your body’s cellular energy-making machine is being enhanced, your body is also receiving assistance in eliminating the waste products naturally produced during past intense workouts. The body naturally adapts to this increased demand and improves and accelerates fitness even more.
Sports Recovery
Remove toxins built up after a workout, training session or game to aid in quicker recovery time and less tired muscles.
Improves Skin Health
Lymphatic drainage (compression therapy) can help eliminate waste products and toxins that can contribute to skin problems. This may lead to a clearer, more radiant complexion and potentially reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Enhance Stamina & Energy
CVAC Therapy sessions can improve circulation and boost oxygen-rich blood cells throughout the body and assist the shedding of unwanted waste into the lymph system.
Decrease Muscle Soreness
This is achieved through removing lactic acid build up (from daily activity or intense workouts) to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Exercise For The Sedentary
The CVAC Therapy Process provides the benefits of traditional aerobic and anaerobic exercise without the joint stress and physical exertion that can be associated with these activities.
frequently Asked Questions
We are sure you have some questions!
Individuals at all levels of fitness seeking to improve their physical conditioning have taken CVAC™ Sessions totaling thousands of hours. Ear-clearing techniques are learned prior to CVAC Sessions to reduce the chances of any ear discomfort.
Dynamic changes to low-pressure air inside the CVAC Pod provide varying loads patterned to cause optimal adaptation to the body’s energy systems.
No, it is not altitude training. The goal of the CVAC Therapy Process is not to cause an acclimatization response.
The goal is to provide adaptation-based physical conditioning.
The CVAC Therapy Process exposes the body to changes in pressure, which set up waves of tension and resolution. The body’s adaptation response to these changes naturally and inevitably results in improved physical conditioning. This adaptation response is comparable to what happens when a person participates in physical activities that facilitate body adaptation such as swimming, yoga, interval and resistance training. All of these processes employ tension and resolution.

Naomi M23 August 2023Every time it’s fantastic
Tara J17 August 2023I have been to Lokahi for two vitamin infusions in the last month due to being unwell. The team at Lokahi (specifically Holly, Julia & Kerrie) were so great words can't even explain. I went in so sick due to an anaesthesia reaction & they made me feel so comfortable & looked after. The nurses are so knowledgable & empathetic too. They have a beautiful relaxation/waiting area which they don't rush you out of post treatment so you can sit, have a tea and wait until you feel ready to go. Such a positive experience & will definitely be back in future.
Angelica Martinez17 August 2023I love this place!!! I went for a flotation therapy and I love it. The staff are friendly and approachable. They give you a tour of all the services they have. I went for a float therapy and the experience was really relaxing. The place is clean, organised and the environment invites you to feel safe and relaxed. Definitely I will be back to try another type of therapy
