Compression Socks
Concept
Compression of the lower limp works by graduated compression, strongest at the ankle and decreasing going up the leg. Compression stocking helps venous return, decreases venous pressure, and relieves aching and heavy legs by aiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity.
This treatment is also prescribed by a physician for venous insufficiency, thrombosis, varicose veins, and to relieve all conditions of chronic venous disease (heavy legs, varicose veins, edemas, leg ulcers).
They help recover from physical activity by acting like a layer of muscle, gently squeezing stretched vein walls and helping muscles recover by removing lactic acid. This design allows the socks to function like a massage up the leg while pumping and circulating the blood towards the heart.
Find Relief for:
TRAVELING and PROLONGED SITTING
Travelling causes a decreased movement and sitting for prolonged periods results in a decrease in blood flow in the legs. This restricted blood leads to common symptoms such as heaviness, leg pain, and swelling in the feet and ankles. Sitting, for greater than four hours can increase your risk of deep vein thrombosis and blood clots. Compression stockings reduces the risk of developing these symptoms buy increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscles of the legs.
