Our Story: Why We Created Sokvita

It Started with a Simple Question: "Why Do All Knee Sleeves Stink?"

Three years ago, our founder watched his 68-year-old mother struggle through another disappointing purchase. She'd ordered her fourth pair of knee sleeves that year - each promising relief for her arthritis pain, and each ending up in the drawer after a few weeks.

"They either slide down constantly or cut off my circulation," she said, showing him yet another sleeve that had rolled up around her thigh. "I just want something that works."

That frustration sparked an idea. What if someone actually listened to what people needed instead of just manufacturing cheap products?

We Studied the Problems, Not Just the Profits

Instead of rushing to market with another generic sleeve, we spent months researching why existing products failed. We surveyed hundreds of people dealing with knee pain and discovered the same complaints over and over:

• Sleeves that slide down during normal activities
• Painful tightness that becomes unbearable after an hour
• Poor materials that trap heat and fall apart quickly
• One-size-fits-all approaches that fit nobody well

Engineering Solutions, Not Shortcuts

Working with compression therapy specialists, we developed our graduated compression technology - tighter at the bottom for therapeutic benefit, gentler at the top for comfort. We chose bamboo fiber for its natural antibacterial properties and breathability. Most importantly, we engineered our grip system to actually keep the sleeves where you put them.

Our Commitment to Responsible Business

At Sokvita, we believe doing right by our customers means doing right by our planet and communities:

Environmental Responsibility: We prioritize sustainable materials like bamboo fiber, which grows rapidly without pesticides and has a lower environmental impact than synthetic alternatives. Our packaging uses recycled materials whenever possible, and we continuously work to reduce our carbon footprint.

Ethical Manufacturing: We partner only with facilities that meet strict labor and safety standards. Our manufacturing partners are regularly audited to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and ethical business practices.

Quality Over Quantity: By creating durable products that last months instead of weeks, we reduce waste and the need for frequent replacements that burden both customers and the environment.

Community Support: A portion of our proceeds supports arthritis research and mobility assistance programs for seniors in underserved communities.

More Than a Product - A Return to Living

Today, thousands of customers tell us Sokvita gave them back activities they'd given up on. Grandparents playing with kids again. Gardeners returning to their passion. Workers completing their shifts without pain.

That's what drives us - knowing that better engineering means better living for real people who refuse to accept limitations.

Our mission remains simple: Create products that actually work for people who deserve better, while building a business that makes a positive impact on our world.
