Everything you need to know about what compression socks do and how they work.
Essentially, compression socks and compression stockings are clinically proven, snug-fitting socks designed to gently put a specific level of pressure on your legs. This pressure improves circulation, which allows you to feel more energized while minimizing the chance of varicose veins, blood clots, inflammation, swelling, and general discomfort. We mean it when we say these are Socks with Benefits.
What do compression socks do?
So what does all this mean? You'll get healthier circulation - all from changing your socks. Healthy blood flow throughout our bodies is essential to survival and well-being. The gentle pressure from compression simply helps your blood vessels work better. The arteries taking oxygen-rich blood to your muscles are able to relax, allowing blood to flow freely. The veins get an extra boost, pushing blood back to your heart.
Compression Levels
True Graduated Compression
This is the most effective form of compression, offering a medically designed gradient-level of support. True Graduated compression or pressure stockings work by creating precise amounts of pressure at different parts of your legs & feet for optimal circulation. Typically tighter at the ankles and looser, going up the legs to help blood flow freely instead of pooling.
