What are compression stockings used for?
Compression stockings are useful on a daily basis for prevention or medical needs. They are less known for their stimulating effect. Still, compression stockings play an important role when you are involved in sports. They will help you improve your performance and recover during or after exercise.
Compression stockings can optimize venous return, helping blood flow back to the heart faster to replenish oxygen. Compression stockings compress tissues peripheral to the circulatory system. They keep blood from stagnating in the venous circuits of the legs, where it is more constrained than elsewhere in the body.
