People experiencing Varicose Veins can help their symptoms by doing light walking, and leg exercises, (Dr.Vayuvegula, 2020). Compression can help with increased blood flow to the heart, flushing bad blood out of swollen areas and circulating fresh blood throughout, helping with healing.

Sizing Guide

Sizing is important when it comes to compression wear. If the sizing is wrong, the benefits of compression may not be experienced. Be sure to measure the diameter of the calf and the thigh at its widest points. Also, measure the length of the leg from below the buttocks to the ground. The sizing chart below can help.
