Why Compression Therapy?
You don’t know what you don’t know. Compression socks can improve circulation and alleviate the myriad of symptoms associated with poor circulation including varicosities, blood clots, swelling and leg fatigue. We see you rocking your ankle socks and can enjoy those here and there but when you’re in a position for a long period of time, your blood isn’t flowing the way it should and compression socks are a simple solution.
Why wear compression socks?:
• Improve circulation in your legs
• Prevent blood from pooling in your leg, thus reducing leg swelling
• Support veins
• Prevent blood clots
• Prevent varicosities
• Improve lymphatic drainage
For example, have you ever been on a plane for a few hours and felt that your shoes were a little tighter? Since you are confined to a small space and not moving much, your feet and ankles may swell up a bit. Donning your compression socks can prevent this!
While we would agree that almost everyone would benefit from compression socks. There are a few exceptions so it is important to consult your physician before purchasing.
