CVAC is Effortless Exercise

8th Element CVAC is an LLC borne out of its owners, Beth Carver, Jean Coletti, and Laura Dylus, wanting to provide a service that benefits the health of the general population. Each of the owners has been working in outpatient rehabilitation for many years and currently want to introduce the CVAC system to the Asheville area.

We have 50+ years of combined experience in rehabilitation. We have worked together for at least 12 of those years with clients who have had brain injuries, strokes, lymphedema, sports injuries, etc. We understand the power of exercise and movement. We have an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, brain function and muscle physiology that is different from the world of fitness and personal training. So, moving into the world of exercise physiology and out of health care will be much less restrictive!

We have seen the frustration and roadblocks that pain, edema and poor cardiovascular issues have on a person’s quality of life. Until these symptoms are controlled or improved, a person cannot perform daily tasks or exercise to his/her full potential. The frustration of seeing people who do not recover well has been a gnawing issue that, over time, drove us to look for something else.

We asked ourselves:

-Wouldn’t we love to be able to give grandparents a way to improve their energy and stamina so that they can play with their grandchildren or take a walk on the beach? We’ve worked with many people whose stories include how health issues have clouded retirements that are supposed to be a reward for raising children and working everyday for decades.

-Wouldn’t we love to shorten the recovery time of the young athlete who wants to compete in the Olympics but who has an injury that might eliminate him/her from important competitions?

Being able to give each of these people a way to get healthier without the physical stress from exercise would truly be an amazing gift---CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

We found the CVAC System (Cyclical Variations in Adaptive Conditioning). The CVAC System meets our criteria for a simple, effective way to condition the body to improve physical performance, whether you are an athlete or using a scooter. The CVAC accomplishes this through varying air pressures 200-400 times in a 20 minute session. In the CVAC System Process, a person sits and relaxes in it’s chamber and receives aerobic and anaerobic conditioning and deep lymphatic stimulation without the wear and tear on the body’s joints or soft tissue. Originally designed for elite athletes, the CVAC can also be applied to populations that struggle with physical limitations and illnesses.

CVAC Systems was founded in 2003. It’s conditioning units are gradually gaining popularity with the public as more celebrity and professional sports figures are using them to support their intensive training (For example, Dr. Phil and Tony Robbins own CVACs). It is gaining popularity with researchers and those who suffer from illnesses as more control-group based studies are funded. The technology remains cutting edge, as currently, there is no other way to simulate the conditioning effect of variable altitudes in such a short period of time. It is not physically possible. It is like repeatedly going up and down in an airplane which is not feasible or practical.

The CVAC is considered exercise equipment, not medical equipment. This makes us VERY HAPPY. We would not be constrained by healthcare requirements or restrictions, and can offer this great value and opportunity to diverse groups of people. Even better for the client, he/she can wear his/her street clothes and shoes into the CVAC unit.

8th Element Conditioning and Performance was formed to bring CVAC technology to our mountains. Each of us owners has personally experienced the benefits of CVAC sessions.
