BENEFITS OF COMPRESSION SOCKS

SITTING AND STANDING

Sitting for prolonged time can cause significant decrease in blood flow below your knees and reduce the amount of freshly oxygenated blood to reach your legs. Being on your feet for hours cause greater strain on the circulatory system and on your feet and legs which often results in fatigue, pain, and discomfort.

TRAVELING

When sitting down in one position for extended periods of time, leg swelling is a natural consequence and the result of blood pooling in the veins of the lower legs. It can be very uncomfortable, and you may experience symptoms of swelling to your feet and legs.
Blood clots (DVT), can be a serious risk when traveling long distance. Although the chances of getting a DVT is small, the risk increases when your legs remain still for hours. 

PREGNANCY

Using graduated compression socks during pregnancy is a great way to manage swelling in your feet and ankles, as well as combating leg cramps, heavy feeling, pain, or discomfort. Compression socks for pregnancy promote circulation and help your blood flow back to the heart through the venous system by providing a gradual pressure on your legs

RUNNING

Improving performance and decreasing recovery time is a concern for any athlete. From athletic professionals to the casual gym goer, compression socks can  improve your work out experience, by reducing muscle soreness and decrease recovery time by almost 30%.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

You may suffer from chronic health conditions that compression socks can help alleviate. Chronic swelling to your feet or legs, venous insufficiency, or blood clots (DVT) are just a few of the conditions for which you might benefit from wearing compression socks.
Visit with your healthcare provider if you think compression socks might be something for you.
