This is how RELIVE Wear was born. (Story by Takashi Sasaki, RELIVE shirt developer) I have a younger sister who worked as a caregiver. She found it meaningful to work to help people and was engaged in caregiving work every day. However, the day came quickly when she had to give up her caregiving job. Due to continuous hard labor, my sister's body was broken down. A woman raising a large man out of bed. Transferring him from bed to wheelchair. Assisting in the bath. Once or twice, she would be fine, but her body could not stand the heavy work day after day after day. I asked her, "Can't we do something to make it better? "Even if it is difficult to change the work environment, is there anything we can do to reduce the physical burden?" I thought seriously about it. I had learned martial arts. I thought that the idea of regulating the flow of mind to energize the body and mind might be useful. So I consulted with my colleagues of material arts and researched whether anyone could easily adopt the Chinese medical concept of "stimulating meridians to flow the mind." I was then inspired by the world-renowned "taping" technique, which stimulates the skin and muscles to relieve pain, and came up with the idea of applying this technique to clothing. We put tape on shirts and pants and repeated the test hundreds of times, looking for places where people could feel energized. We started by taping the upper body to stimulate the supraspinatus, the greater trochanter, the psoas major in the abdomen, and the piriformis and iliopsoas muscles in the lower body. Tests showed that the tape had a significant effect. This led to the acquisition of a patent in Japan, which is unusual in the apparel industry. Unfortunately, my sister cannot return to her caregiving job, but we hope to help those who are engaged in the ever-increasing demand for caregivers. In addition to being worn during heavy-duty work in Japan where the elderly population is growing older, we believe that wearing our products on a daily basis will help people to realize that their physical functions are improving. We continue to improve, refine, and develop our products for the health of our customers.
