What are Compression Socks?
Compression socks are specially designed garments that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles, promoting blood flow from your lower extremities back to your heart. This helps reduce swelling, prevent blood clots, and alleviate discomfort associated with various conditions.
At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled therapists provide custom-fitted compression socks tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.
How Do Compression Socks Work?
Compression socks work by providing graduated pressure that is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. Here’s an overview of how they benefit your vascular health:
Improved Blood Flow
Reduced Swelling
Prevention of Blood Clots
Enhanced Comfort
