Our Story

In the bustling heart of San Francisco, where the pace of life mirrors the ebb and flow of the bay, Gladiv was born out of Emily Carson's desire to harmonize wellness with daily living. Emily, a former physical therapist with a heart as expansive as the Golden Gate, observed a common thread among her patients and community: the yearning for accessible wellness solutions that dovetail seamlessly with modern lifestyles.

Witnessing the toll that demanding schedules and limited self-care options took on the people around her, Emily decided to embark on a mission. She envisioned a brand that stood not just for products but for a movement—a movement that championed the importance of self-care and holistic health.

In 2018, Emily launched Gladiv with a flagship creation that would come to be known as the AirCare Pro. This wasn't just a calf massager; it was the culmination of her expertise in therapy and her commitment to nurturing health. The AirCare Pro was designed to not only provide relief from physical strain but also to serve as a beacon of relaxation in the comfort of one's home.

Emily's passion for wellness was contagious, and it wasn't long before Gladiv grew to be a trusted name in homes across the United States. Each product is a testament to her belief that taking care of one's body is not a luxury, but a foundation for a fulfilled and vibrant life.
