COMPRESSION SOCKS
What is compression?
WHAT ARE COMPRESSION STOCKINGS OR SOCKS?
They are a specially made weave, snug elastic hosiery – which gently squeezes your leg.
Why wear compression stockings or sock?
Compression socks (or stockings) are designed to make veins drain faster and more efficiently. They do this by compressing the calve muscle – therefore pushing blood back up to the heart.
The benefit of Compression
Compression socks / stockings can help prevent the following
Pooling of blood in your lower limbs
Dull aching, throbbing or itching at the end of a day
Decrease swelling
Changes in skin colour and texture
Prevent blood clots forming in your lower limbs – which could travel towards your heart and become life threatening.
“There is no compression algorithm for experience.”
