Custom Hosiery in Caledon East
Today’s compression wear offers effective therapeutic benefits, complemented by modern styling options that look great while providing powerful circulatory support.
How Compression Therapy Works
Your veins rely on one-way valves and muscle contractions to push blood upward against gravity. When these mechanisms don’t function as they should, blood can pool in your lower extremities, causing swelling, aching, and potentially more serious circulatory problems. Compression stockings apply graduated pressure—strongest at the ankle and decreasing upward—which helps support proper venous function and assists your body in maintaining healthy circulation.
Who Benefits From Compression Wear
Many different people can benefit from quality compression garments. Those experiencing leg swelling, varicose veins, or general leg fatigue often find significant relief through regular use. Travelers on long flights benefit from reduced risk of deep vein thrombosis. Athletes appreciate the improved performance and recovery compression provides. People who stand for extended periods at work often report less fatigue and discomfort when using appropriate compression levels.
Finding Your Perfect Fit
To provide effective therapeutic benefits, compression stockings must fit precisely. We take careful measurements to ensure your stockings provide optimal pressure without discomfort. For mild compression (under 20 mmHg), we offer a variety of styles that can be purchased directly in our office. For stronger, therapeutic-grade compression, we can help you obtain the necessary prescription from your medical doctor and then order custom-fitted garments through our suppliers.
Many Stylish Options Available
Modern compression stockings come in a variety of colors and styles that look like regular hosiery or socks. From sheer stockings to opaque knee-highs, athletic compression socks to fashionable patterns, today’s options allow you to receive therapeutic benefits without sacrificing style. We help you select from these numerous options to find compression wear that fits your lifestyle and preferences while providing the therapeutic support you need.
