Description
- ATHLETES: Used to recover from hard workouts and races as quickly as possible. These snug-fitting, knee-high socks are meant to assist in blood circulation, reduce blood lactate concentration during running and control the amount of muscle oscillation that results from pounding during any sport. Some athletes wear compression gear while training and racing, others use them for recovery after a run.
- CIRCULATION PROBLEMS: Compression socks help to increase circulation by squeezing the veins which reduces their diameter. Blood is then forced to flow faster. Compression socks are generally graduated which means they are tightest around the ankle and have decreasing compression strength up the leg. This guides blood upwards and helps to increase the flow of blood towards the heart.
- FLIGHT TRAVEL: Wearing compression socks during long flights will help your legs with proper blood circulation. While movement is constrained during travel, it can lead to heavy legs, swollen feet/ ankles and other leg pains. Sitting for a long time is not only uncomfortable; it can also affect your circulatory system. Immobility can contribute to a potentially life-threatening condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), dangerous blood clots in the legs.
- PREGNANT WOMEN: The major benefit that you get from wearing compression socks during pregnancy is that it can prevent you from developing varicose veins. Women who are pregnant are prone to DVT. Because of pregnancy, there is increased blood volume especially during the third trimester of the pregnancy. Pregnancy also causes hormonal changes that increase blood coagulability. Blood clotting is almost always a possibility.
- PEOPLE THAT STAND OR SIT ALL DAY: Many professions involve prolonged periods of standing or sitting which impacts our body's metabolic system. Today, our bodies are breaking down from the cascade of health ills and everyday malaise that come from what scientists have named 'sitting disease.' If you make wearing compression socks part of your daily uniform, you can feel more energized and you'll get a jump start on taking care of your leg health before problems develop.
