Your complete guide to compression socks

To get the most out of compression therapy, wear during the day during work and take them off before bed. Put them on again first thing in the morning.

To fashion the socks on, start by turning them inside out, next, while seated, put your toes in the sock and pull the sock up to your heel. Finally by holding the cuff, pull the sock up so that it sits just below the knee.

When should I use compression socks?

Compression socks are great for increasing circulation and moving blood flow from your lower legs back to your heart. Here are our favorite times to use compression therapy:

1) At a desk job where you are sitting down all day.

Your calf muscles act as a steady pump during movement and pressurize veins in the lower legs, allowing blood to flow back to your heart. If you sit at a desk all day, these muscles are doing very little and can cause blood to pool in the lower legs.

Using compression sock therapy can help reduce can help increase blood flow in your legs, let your muscles relax and maintain energy after a long day of work.

2) Doing an activity/ job that requires you to stand for long periods of time

Standing stationary in one position for long periods of time can have a reduced effect on your body’s natural circulation system.

To counter act this, Try wearing compression socks. Doing so will allow an increase in blood circulation and allow your muscles to be less strained after a long day of standing. This makes them ideal for trade workers, retail employees and hospitality staff.

3) Post work out

Compression socks can help with post workout recovery by helping reduce soreness and swelling in your lower leg muscles.
