Compression Therapy for Leg Support
Added Support for Your Occupation and Lifestyle
Compression therapy garments can help people of all ages and occupations. Though they’re often associated with post-surgery recovery or with adults suffering from circulation issues, compression garments can also help alleviate discomfort and add support to your daily activities, especially if you stand or sit for long periods of time and suffer from tired, achy legs.
Symptoms or conditions that could arise from standing or sitting all day include:
Swelling and stiffness
Poor circulation/restricted blood flow
Lower limb disorders
Joint damage
Varicose veins
Muscle fatigue
Increased chance of knee or hip arthritis
If you work in any of the following occupations, you could benefit by combining compression garments with more varied movement during your days and evenings.
Teachers
Stylists
Chefs/Waitress
Manufacturing/Construction
Nurses
If you exercise frequently, are pregnant or fly on a regular basis, compression garments can help enhance your lifestyle by allowing you to move in comfort.
Recovery after Active Exercise
Low and high-impact exercise can leave us fatigued, so it’s important to keep muscles warm after your workout, loosen them up and increase circulation to help reduce your changes of stiff and sore muscles.
Pregnancy
One of the symptoms women encounter during pregnancy is swollen feet which can cause a lot of discomfort. Even if you don’t have swollen feet, moving about can still be difficult and distressing. Extra relief from compression garments can make your days easier and decrease unnecessary stress.
People Who Travel Long Distances
Sitting in cramped spaces for an extended period of time may result in poor circulation, swelling and discomfort. During long flights, try getting up, stretching and walking about the cabin frequently in addition to wearing a compression garment.
