Compression stockings are used to improve blood flow in the veins of your legs. They gently squeeze your legs to move blood up your legs. People wear compression stockings for comfort, to do better in sports, and to help prevent serious medical conditions. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots. Compression socks can also reduce pain and swelling in your ankles and legs. At Physio Fix our health professionals will help you get fitted with proper fitting compression stockings to help you get relief for your legs.
