Compression

Foot by Foot is able to make an important contribution to the prevention and treatment of leg circulation disorders by providing premium compression products to our clients. Compression therapy, through the application of a compression stocking is a conservative approach to managing your leg problems or promoting recovery after certain surgical procedures. Graduated compression works by applying a measured amount of compression to your leg. The highest amount of compression is applied at the ankle and gradually reduces along the length of the stocking as it moves upward toward the heart. It is clinically shown to help promote the flow of blood out of your legs and back to the heart thus restoring normal circulation. By improving circulation, compression stockings help relieve the discomfort associated with leg fatigue, varicose veins and swelling.
