Choosing the best compression socks for circulation

When circulation problems in your legs leave you with swollen ankles and a heavy feeling at the end of the day, finding a solution becomes a top priority.

During journeys by road or plane, where you’re confined to small seats for hours, or on days that require prolonged standing or sitting, the impact on your legs can be painful. Poor blood circulation, if not stimulated or aided in its return to the heart, can lead to discomfort, fluid retention, swelling, and even more serious complications like venous thrombosis.

One effective method to alleviate these issues is investing in graduated compression knee-highs. Consult with your doctor to determine the best medical device for your specific needs. You’ll also want to consider which stocking style suits your preferences and purpose of use.

Whether it’s spending long hours at the office, glued to your workstation without much movement, or engaging in other sedentary activities, wearing graduated compression knee-highs can help alleviate swollen legs and fatigue.

Understanding how graduated compression knee-highs work is essential. They stimulate the blood and lymphatic system, strengthening their normal function, which can be compromised by various health conditions. With stronger compression at the ankle gradually easing up the leg, these socks facilitate the return of blood and lymph flow to the heart, preventing fluid stagnation and the formation of blood clots.

Wearing them is simple. Gently stretch the elastic fibers of the product using both hands, insert your foot into the toe of the sock (if applicable to the model), and unroll it along the length of your leg.

The fabric will maintain its compressive function throughout your active daily life, without shifting. The Active Energy range is designed for physical activity in the gym or outdoors, the body’s movement activates a micro-massage effect. This action increase blood flow to the legs and helps eliminate the build up of lactic acid in the muscles, helping reduce cramps and speed up recovery.
