About Us

Our company combines two passions: gaming and health.

We thought… What if more gamers used hemp-infused topicals to relieve pain and inflammation? Or used health techniques like cryotherapy to ease the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome? It could stop early burnout in gaming and early retirement from esports! That’s why we’ve made it our mission to bring cutting-edge health tools and treatments to the gaming world. We don’t believe injuries have to mean game over. And neither should you.
