The Sorsoap Story

Sorsoap began with a hip flexor, a shower, and a spark of inspiration.

David, an active guy always on the move, started experiencing nagging hip flexor pain. Stretching wasn’t enough, so he booked a session with his longtime physical therapist, Dr. Daniel Staats. During the session, Dr. Staats used a muscle scraping tool, and David immediately felt relief—his first thought? “Where has this been all my life?”

Later that day, while reflecting on his newfound relief in the shower, David noticed his curved bar of green soap. An idea struck: What if you could scrape your muscles and get clean at the same time? He gave it a try right then and there—and felt that same magical relief. The gears in his mind started turning (he’s a graphic designer, after all), and before he even dried off, he was sketching what would become Sorsoap.

The name came naturally—short, catchy, and perfect for his new invention. David teamed up with Dr. Staats, and together they refined the product, ensuring it was safe, effective, and easy to use. Fast forward, and the duo found themselves pitching their idea on Shark Tank. One muscle scrape later, Mark Cuban was all in, officially joining the Sorsoap team.

Now, Sorsoap is trusted by athletes, busy professionals, and wellness enthusiasts alike. Endorsed by doctors and designed to relieve tension and soothe sore muscles, Sorsoap combines genius design with natural recovery solutions. Who knew a simple shower moment could revolutionize recovery?

The Inspiration Behind SorSoap: A Journey to Better Recovery

At the heart of SorSoap is a simple yet powerful idea: to make muscle recovery easier, more accessible, and part of your everyday routine. SorSoap didn’t start as a product—it began as a solution to a real problem. David’s journey with hip flexor pain, which many active people can relate to, set the stage for creating a tool that not only relieves pain but also integrates seamlessly into a daily ritual. Through his personal experience, David recognized that recovery doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be simple, natural, and even enjoyable. This epiphany in the shower turned into a passion project that has now evolved into a product trusted by thousands.

Innovation Meets Simplicity

The beauty of SorSoap lies in its simplicity. David combined his creative background as a graphic designer with his personal struggle and expertise from physical therapy to design a product that integrates muscle scraping and body cleansing. By designing a soap that could help relieve muscle tension while you shower, SorSoap became a two-in-one solution—enhancing both your hygiene and recovery in one simple step. SorSoap’s unique design has changed the way people think about self-care, and its success speaks to the power of innovation combined with a genuine need for better recovery tools.

From Idea to Shark Tank: A Game-Changer

SorSoap’s journey took a remarkable turn when David and Dr. Staats decided to take the product to the next level and pitch it on Shark Tank. The duo faced the challenge of convincing the sharks that their idea was not only viable but something that could revolutionize how people recover. After demonstrating the product’s efficacy with a single muscle scrape, they garnered the attention of none other than Mark Cuban. Impressed by the product's potential, Mark Cuban officially joined the SorSoap team. This partnership has fueled SorSoap’s growth, bringing it into the homes of athletes, professionals, and wellness seekers around the globe.
