Why Wear Compression Hosiery for Travel?

Sitting or standing for long periods of time often results in tired, aching legs.  During long trips seated in an airplane, you have experienced one or more of these symptoms:
  • Swollen ankles
  • "Puffy" feet (shoes are hard to put back on)
  • Tired Legs
  • Aching, sore feeling in the legs
Even if you don't run the risk of serious consequences, your travel could still be uncomfortable due to the confining nature of passenger seating.

By providing pressure at the ankle which gradually decreases up the leg, compression hosiery effectively delivers gradient support.  This "counter pressure" helps to promote blood flow back to the heart rather than allowing it to pool in the legs.

The resulting benefits are reduced leg discomfort and swelling and improved leg health.  Your travel experience will be more comfortable.
Make Your Travel More Comfortable - Follow These Guidelines
  • Drink plenty of fluids while traveling - avoid alcohol.
  • Stand up and stretch several times during each flight.
  • Stretch and contract calf muscles by vigorous foot exercises.
  • Seek medical advice if pre-disposed to any risk factors.
  • Wear gradient compression hosiery during all air travel.
