A few years ago, a young engineer in New York noticed something at a family dinner.
His mother had been dealing with knee problems for years. She wore a knee brace religiously. But she also had swollen ankles. Puffy thighs. Legs that felt heavy and tired by the end of every day.
She'd tried adding compression socks. But getting them on with stiff fingers was a daily struggle. And they left a gap at her knee where nothing was covered.
One night, she said something that stuck with him:
"I wish there was just one thing I could put on that would help my whole leg. Not pieces. Not parts. Just... everything."
That got him thinking.
What if the answer wasn't better knee braces? What if it was full-leg support?
He started researching. And he found something that surprised him.
Your body does most of its healing while you sleep.
That's when inflammation goes down. That's when fluid drains back toward your heart. That's when your joints and muscles recover from the day.
But here's the problem: blood has to travel through your ENTIRE leg to get back to your heart. If your thigh is tight and your calf is swollen, that blood flow gets sluggish. Your knee doesn't get the oxygen and nutrients it needs to heal.
Compression helps. But only if it covers the whole pathway. A knee brace alone is like putting a pump in the middle of a clogged pipe. A compression sock alone is like clearing the bottom half but ignoring the top.
What if you could support the entire leg — from thigh to ankle — in one seamless piece?
But there was one big problem.
He looked at what was available. Medical-grade compression stockings that went from thigh to toe. They cost a fortune. They were almost impossible to put on. And they were so tight they were miserable to wear for more than an hour.
There had to be a better way.
