Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Mountain biker. Weight lifter. After chronic injuries left co-founder Hoyt Yang unable to train at his usual intensity level, he searched for compression support to help prevent muscle fatigue and restore his confidence in working out.

But all he found were cumbersome, medical-grade contraptions or flimsy, restrictive garments that were uncomfortable to wear for long periods. So, he set out to make his own. Working in collaboration with a team of high-level experts including an orthopedic surgeon, a kinesiology specialist, a team of material engineers, along with world-renowned sports physical therapist Dr. Davis Koh, Hoyt spent over two years developing a full line of compression wear, utilizing patented technology of embedding medical grade silicone into fabric.

Fifty prototypes later, he launched BodyVine—science-backed gear that far outperforms your standard compression wear and empowers athletes of all ages and sizes.
