Compression Stockings
How does compression help?
Blood flow is important to ensure our muscles and soft tissues obtain fresh oxygenated blood to remain healthy. Compression stockings gently squeeze your legs or arms to assist the flow of blood throughout your body when your veins are not functioning properly.
Why do I need to see an Orthotist to be fitted with compression stockings?
Compression garments are available in multiple sizes, shapes and levels of medical compression to suit all body types and medical conditions. Your Orthotist will accurately measure your body and recommend the correct stocking for your shape and medical condition.
