From Sky Kim — RTP Founder
"I had Osteochondritis Dissecans, a rare knee condition, since age 7. Despite two knee surgeries, the pain never went away. Standard insoles never worked — they were uncomfortable and made things worse. But when I developed this pad with Sorbothane, everything changed. For the first time, the pain I thought I’d carry forever... was gone. I knew I had to share this with the world."
