What is compression therapy?
The concept of compression therapy is based on a simple and efficient mechanical principle consisting of applying an
elastic garment around the leg.By compressing the limb with graduated compression (strongest at the ankle and decreasinggoing up the leg), the compression stocking acts as a layer of muscle by gently squeezing the stretched vein walls together,allowing the valves to close.
The cavity of the vein is reduced, thereby restoring blood flow to a normal state and aiding overall circulation.Compr
ession socks and stockings help the venous return, decrease venous pressure, prevent venous stasis and impair of venous walls, and efficiently relieve aching and heavy legs.
