Millennial Medical Reports Record Growth, Launches Crutches.com to Transform the Consumer Crutch Market

St. George, Utah-based medical mobility company reports strong sales growth as expanded digital strategy drives launch of dedicated consumer brand

ST. GEORGE, Utah, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Millennial Medical, a family-owned medical mobility company based in St. George, Utah, today announced the launch of Crutches.com, a new consumer-facing brand and e-commerce destination dedicated to serving people who need a better mobility experience.

“Crutches have traditionally been treated as a temporary medical necessity rather than a product where comfort, mobility and the user experience really matter. We believe consumers deserve better.”

The launch follows a period of substantial growth for Millennial Medical, with sales increasing approximately 25% in 2026. The company attributes much of that growth to a significant expansion of its digital footprint and its ability to reach consumers directly.

With the launch of Crutches.com, Millennial Medical is formally separating its two primary markets. Crutches.com will serve the company’s direct-to-consumer business, while MillennialMedical.com will remain focused on healthcare providers, distributors and other medical-industry customers.

“Crutches have traditionally been treated as a temporary medical necessity rather than a product where comfort, mobility and the user experience really matter,” said Clint Hansen, CEO of Millennial Medical. “We believe consumers deserve better. The growth we’ve experienced this year reinforced the opportunity we see in this market, and Crutches.com gives us a brand and platform built specifically around the people who actually use these products.”

More Than 20 Years in Mobility Founded in 2005, Millennial Medical has spent more than two decades developing and providing mobility products designed to improve the traditional crutch experience.

In 2020, the company was acquired by Hansen and his business partner who saw an opportunity to build on the company’s product foundation while expanding its reach to a much larger market.

That strategy accelerated in 2026 as Millennial Medical substantially increased its investment in digital marketing, e-commerce and direct consumer acquisition. The resulting 25% increase in sales helped demonstrate what company leadership believes is significant untapped consumer demand for alternatives to conventional crutches.

Building a Consumer Brand Around a Category Crutches.com represents the next phase of that strategy. Rather than simply operating another online storefront, Millennial Medical intends to build Crutches.com as a dedicated consumer destination for the crutch and mobility category.

The company’s flagship InMotion crutches are designed as an alternative to conventional crutches, with features focused on improving comfort, mobility and the overall experience of getting around while recovering from an injury, surgery or other mobility limitation.

“Most people don’t think about crutches until suddenly they need them,” Hansen said. “At that moment, they should be able to easily find a product designed around how they’re actually going to live, work and move. That’s the opportunity we see with Crutches.com.”

The new brand will allow Millennial Medical to speak directly to consumers while preserving Millennial Medical’s established identity within the professional medical market.

Two Brands, Two Distinct Customers Going forward, the company’s digital strategy will center around two distinct destinations:

Crutches.com will focus on consumers seeking crutches and mobility solutions for themselves or family members.

MillennialMedical.com will continue serving the company’s wholesale and professional medical business, including healthcare organizations, medical suppliers, distributors and other industry partners.

The company believes separating the two audiences will allow each brand to better serve the specific needs of its customers while creating additional opportunities for growth.

“Millennial Medical has a strong foundation and history in this industry,” Hansen said.

“Crutches.com allows us to build on that foundation while creating something specifically for the consumer market. We see tremendous opportunity ahead.”

About Millennial Medical

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in St. George, Utah, Millennial Medical develops and distributes mobility products designed to improve the experience of people who rely on crutches. The company was acquired in 2020 by Clint Hansen and a business partner and serves healthcare and medical-industry customers through MillennialMedical.com.

About Crutches.com

Crutches.com is the consumer-facing business of Millennial Medical, created to provide consumers with modern alternatives to traditional crutches and a better experience before, during and after periods of limited mobility. Crutches.com is headquartered in St. George, Utah.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021.
