When we first imagined Angglz, we didn’t set out to create just another wellness product—we set out to solve a problem. And who better inspires us than runners?
Runners and Knee Pain: A Common Struggle
Running is an incredible way to push the body, build strength, and clear the mind. But it’s also demanding on the knees, joints, and muscles. In fact, knee pain is one of the most common issues runners face, with conditions like runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome), IT band syndrome, and patellar tendonitis affecting athletes at all levels.
These injuries can make both activity and recovery uncomfortable, turning even simple tasks like sitting into a challenge. We saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between active movement and proper recovery, giving runners the support they need when they’re off their feet. That’s where Angglz comes in.
The Runner’s Recovery Companion
Runners inspire us because they never stop moving—physically and mentally. Even in rest, they’re thinking about their next goal. With Angglz, we wanted to give runners a tool that supports their knees during those critical moments of stillness. Here’s how Angglz was designed with runners in mind:
-
Pressure Relief After Impact
Running is tough on the knees, especially for those recovering from conditions like runner’s knee or IT band syndrome. Angglz helps alleviate strain and pressure while sitting, allowing runners to recover more comfortably and efficiently. -
On-the-Go Recovery
Runners are always on the move, traveling for races or training sessions. Angglz is portable, lightweight, and easy to take anywhere, making it perfect for planes, cars, or race-day waiting areas. -
Supports Healing for Common Injuries
For runners recovering from overuse injuries, proper knee alignment and pressure relief during sitting can aid the healing process. Angglz provides the ergonomic support runners need to stay on track with their recovery plans.
-
Complements Active Recovery
Stretching, foam rolling, and icing are staples in a runner’s recovery routine. Angglz enhances these practices by providing proper alignment and support during periods of rest, ensuring the knees remain protected.
-
Everyday Comfort
Running isn’t just an activity; it’s a lifestyle. We designed Angglz to integrate seamlessly into a runner’s daily routine, whether they’re working at a desk, recovering at home, or taking a break during a busy day.
The Runners Who Inspire Us
We’re inspired by runners of all kinds—from marathoners and sprinters to casual joggers and trail enthusiasts. Their drive to challenge themselves, push through discomfort, and prioritize recovery is what motivated us to create Angglz.
Beyond Running
While Angglz was born from the needs of runners, its benefits go far beyond the running community. Sitting impacts everyone, and knee support is something we all need. But it was runners that sparked the idea and inspired us to bring Angglz to life.
Thank You, Runners
To all the runners out there: thank you. You’ve inspired a product that’s changing how we think about recovery, sitting, and wellness. By addressing common pain points and supporting your journey to better health, Angglz is here to help you move, recover, and thrive.
