The Mr Gherkins Story
How a passionate pickleball community transformed pain into purpose
Meet Our Founder
Andre Roberts
Founder & CEO
Mr Gherkins was founded by Andre Roberts, a dedicated pickleball enthusiast who experienced firsthand the frustration of recurring injuries and slow recovery times among players. After seeing too many friends sidelined by preventable injuries, Andre collaborated with sports medicine professionals and cryotherapy researchers to develop the first cryo tape specifically designed for pickleball and high-intensity racquet sports.
"Every setback is a setup for a comeback. That's not just our tagline — it's the philosophy behind every roll of CryoTape™."

The Journey
The Heroes: Players Like You
Passionate athletes who refuse to let injuries define their limits. Tennis elbow, shoulder strain, slow recovery — these daily struggles affected every serve and shot.
The Enemy: Traditional Methods
Time-consuming ice packs requiring 15-20 minutes of sitting still. Inconsistent coverage, limited mobility, and bulky solutions that disrupted active lifestyles.
The Solution: CryoTape™
Revolutionary technology that adapts to your body. Instant targeted relief, full range of motion during treatment, and long-lasting protection during play.
