Reason for needing support stockings

Support stockings are used to improve blood circulation in the legs. When you sit or stand for a long time, blood can collect in your lower legs, causing swelling and fatigue. Support stockings with graduated compression facilitate blood flow back to the heart and relieve strain on the legs.

Symptoms that can be relieved with support stockings

Common symptoms include heavy and aching legs, swelling around the ankles and calves, and a tingling sensation after a long day. Support stockings can also relieve nocturnal cramps and discomfort from varicose veins. Many people use them as a preventative measure.

Treatment and preventive effect

Support stockings provide light to moderate compression and are suitable for travel, pregnancy, or sedentary work. They can also be used during exercise and recovery. By improving circulation, they reduce the risk of swelling and increase comfort throughout the day.

Exercise advice and self-care

Combine the use of support stockings with movement in your daily life. Walking, calf raises, and breaks from sitting still strengthen circulation. For best effect, put the stockings on in the morning before your legs have swelled and wear them throughout the day.
