How does compression hosiery provide “compression therapy”?
A. Graduated compression hosiery applies pressure to the circumference of the leg which affects the leg’s surface veins in a graduated, controlled manner. This temporarily reduces the size of the surface veins and forces blood into the deep vein system within the legs. Clinical studies have shown that applying graduated compression to the legs increases blood flow to the deep veins. The result is better blood circulation which usually brings relief from painful symptoms caused by poor blood flow.
