How it works
External compression counteracts capillary filtration pressure, reducing fluid movement into interstitial tissue and promoting venous return.
Must be correctly fitted - poorly fitted stockings can worsen circulation. Put on in the morning before swelling starts. Class 2 (23-32mmHg) usually recommended.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
