Compression Stockings

Brands that we carry:

The fundamental principle of compression therapy is found in the application of an elastic garment worn around the leg. This elastic garment known as compression stockings gradually compresses the limb from the ankle (where greatest pressure is applied) to the leg (where least pressure is applied).

As pressure decreases from the ankle toward the leg, it moves the blood flow upward which helps to relieve aches and pains experienced in the leg.

Compression stockings can help prevent venous stasis and reduce venous pressure, oedema and deterioration of venous walls.

Furthermore, compression stockings can aid to prevent venous issues for those travelling long distance where no or limited movement is possible and for pregnant women.

Compression therapy is beneficial to treat:

lymphoedema
phlebitis
thrombosis
sclerotherapy
forms of varicose vein
venous disease such as varicose veins, oedema, heavy legs and leg ulcers

There are different forms of compression therapy available including socks, stockings. tights and bandages.
