How it works
Gravity assists venous return when legs are elevated, reducing the hydrostatic pressure in lower leg veins and decreasing swelling and discomfort.
Most effective for symptom relief rather than treating underlying vein damage. Best used alongside compression and movement.
Consistent clinical recommendation across vascular guidelines. Provides reliable short-term symptom relief with no side effects.

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