Our Story

It started with my own knees.

I have always loved sport, and pickleball most of all. At 27 I was on the court three, sometimes four times a week, resting properly in between, doing everything by the book. Then my knees started to complain. First an ache after a hard session, then a soreness that lingered for days, sometimes weeks.

I tried everything. Chiropractors to realign, physiotherapy to find the fix, doctors for something that would last. A few just pushed a synthetic gel injection that was a short-term patch at best, and felt more like a way to keep me coming back than a real answer. I did all the home remedies too: legs up the wall, foam rolling, stretching before and after. Still, every time I stepped onto the hard court, my knees paid for it.

So I stopped waiting for someone else to solve it and went to the factories to build my own. I had already tried plenty off Shopee and Decathlon, and every one let me down: rolling down mid-game, rubbing my skin raw after two or three hours, or simply doing nothing at all.

Tanjom was my answer. Full support from ankle to thigh, built for our heat with a cooling knit, shaped to follow your leg so it sits firm and stays exactly where you put it, the whole session. For the first time in months, I stopped dreading the court. Then I added the gym and weight training to build real strength through my legs, and the difference was night and day. Today I can drop into a full squat, shuffle and pivot and dive for a ball on bare cement, and just play.

That is why Tanjom exists, and why I am sharing what I built: the sleeve, and the playbook that got me here. This is not just a product. It is the start of the brand. Everything that comes next will be the things that helped me show up as an athlete and as a person: endurance, performance, recovery, and everyday wellbeing.

This is where it begins.
