WHY YOU NEED COMPRESSION SOCKS?

January 07, 2020

If you’ve suffered with varicose veins for a long time, you’ll be familiar with the swelling, the itchiness and the pain. Apart from generally encouraging healthy habits (eating right, exercising, elevating your legs after a long day standing, etc), we recommend wearing compression stockings during the day as a worthwhile measure.

Varicose veins appear when the one-way valves in your veins fail and allow blood to leak backward. It’s the pooling of blood because of this valve failure that causes the squiggly, bulging blue veins to pop out.

When you wear our compression stockings your veins are supported and enable the blood to flow more effectively.

Bonus: It also helps to keep swelling down and reduces the achiness in your legs from a day on your feet.

KEEP HEALTHY, KEEP GOING!

+MD graduated compression socks systematically apply graduated pressure starting strongest at the ankle point decreasing upwards, thus promoting circulation towards the heart. They will enhance your performance and provide you with extra support to minimize injuries.

HOW TO WEAR COMPRESSION STOCKINGS

Step 1: Reach into the stocking, and grab the toe.

Step 2: Turn the upper half of the stocking inside out.

Step 3: Put your foot into the toe of the stocking, and gently slide the stocking over your heel. Then use your fingertips or palms to "slide" the stocking up your leg. Wearing gloves can help you slide the stocking up. Don't grab the top of the stocking and pull, because that may rip the stocking.

Step 4: Continue to slide the stocking up the leg until it is positioned correctly. Repeat these steps on the other leg.
