Gradient Compression Hosiery
At Sockprints, our focus is on medical grade compression stockings that promote the benefits of compression therapy used in everyday living.
What is Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy is the application of controlled pressure with the purpose of increasing blood circulation. Blood and fluid can accumulate in the lower limbs throughout the day causing possible swelling. Through pressure, the vein walls are squeezed together to help circulate blood back towards the heart, thus relieving the lower limbs of the built up fluid causing discomfort.
Who Can Benefit from Compression Therapy?
Compression stockings can be worn daily to prevent fatigue, aching, and swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs. Doctors often prescribe compression stockings for patients who have varicose veins, spider veins, or have recently undergone surgery.
Because our products are medical grade, a doctor’s prescription is required to purchase these stockings. However, lower pressure stockings can be found in your local drug store and purchased without a doctor’s referral.
