FAQs

What does wearing compression socks do?
Compression socks are designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and provide support to your legs. By applying gentle pressure, they help blood flow more efficiently, making them ideal for those with leg fatigue, swelling, or circulation issues. They are also great as part of injury treatment management to assist with recovery.

How many hours a day should you wear compression socks?
For most individuals, wearing compression socks for 6-8 hours a day is effective for managing swelling and improving circulation. For specific conditions, such as pregnancy or long flights, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for personalised recommendations. If you're using them in conjunction with orthopaedic aids, the duration may vary.

What are the disadvantages of compression socks?
While generally safe for most people, wearing compression socks for too long or with the wrong fit can lead to discomfort or restricted blood flow. It’s important to follow usage guidelines and seek professional advice if you have any underlying health conditions. If you need additional support, consider pairing them with other injury treatment management tools like a knee support or back brace.

Is compression good for a swollen ankle?
Yes, compression socks can help reduce swelling in the ankle by encouraging blood flow back to the heart. This is especially beneficial for conditions like oedema or after long periods of standing or sitting. If you're dealing with chronic swelling or injury, a leg brace or ankle support might provide additional stabilisation.

Where does the fluid go when wearing compression stockings?
Compression socks help redirect excess fluid from your lower legs and ankles back into your circulatory system, which aids in reducing swelling and discomfort. This process allows the fluid to be processed and eliminated by the body more efficiently.

Should you elevate your legs when wearing compression socks?
Elevating your legs while wearing compression socks can further enhance circulation and help reduce swelling. It's a great practice, particularly after long periods of standing or sitting, as it allows fluid to move away from your feet and ankles.
