All blood returns to the heart through the veins in our body. Since the legs are the farthest part of the body from the heart and are below the heart, the column of blood in those veins exerts a considerable downward force.

The application of therapy hosiery can benefit the wearer in several ways. By increasing the pressure in the leg, fluid leakage out of the capillary beds is reduced and absorption of fluid by both the capillaries and the lymphatic system is increased. This action may reduce or prevent swelling of the lower limb.
Help prevent varicose veins and spider veins and tired aching legs.
It is important that supportwear be worn every day. New wearers should acclimate there legs to the pressure by extending the wear time each day, working up to a full day after about a week. It is also recommended that you have at least two pair of hosiery to rotate. Oils from the skin need to be washed out daily and the hosiery should rest for a day so it can return to its original shape and deliver consistent compression over time.
