How it works
Graduated compression reduces venous stasis and improves venous return from the legs. Reduces oedema and may reduce risk of post-thrombotic syndrome — chronic leg pain and swelling after DVT.
Ensure correct sizing — poorly fitted stockings can worsen symptoms. Class 2 compression (23–32 mmHg) typically recommended. Consult your doctor or physiotherapist for guidance on appropriate compression level.
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.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
