Welcome to Stay Active CK, the newest supplier of compression socks in Chatham Ontario.
Who can benefit from compression garments?
Research-based evidence shows that compression socks and leggings can help reduce the buildup of lactic acid and aid with muscle recovery. They are ideal for prolonged standing, sitting and long distance travel since they help aid in the prevention of spider veins and swelling.
Compression garments are ideal for those who:
Sit or stand for long periods of time
Are pregnant
Suffer from tired, aching, or swollen legs
Are overweight
Have circulation ailments
Have had surgery
Are performance athletes
I’d say they are the perfect prescription for tired, achy legs
What type should you choose, and why? When deciding on the best compression garment for you, first consider any pre-existing health concerns or diseases, as well as your current lifestyle habits. You’ll also want to think about your everyday activities at home, work and play to determine the best fit for you.
PERFORMANCE SOCKS: 15-22mmHg
Compression Socks help you perform faster for longer with less muscle injuries. If you’re an ultra marathon, triathlon or elite athlete, graduated compression socks are for you! HOW THEY WORK: Performance compression socks consistently increase the stabilization of lower leg muscles and oxygen delivery. With targeted compression zones, they help decrease the risk of Achilles injuries, shin splints, blood clots and muscle fatigue. They also keep your feet dry and blister-free with anti-chafing materials, ensuring maximum breathability.
MEDICAL COMPRESSION SOCKS: 20-30mmHg
Medical Compression Socks offer all the same benefits of Performance Compression socks, with added enhancements that provide further support of the body’s circulation system and help ease symptoms of pre-existing health conditions. If you have been diagnosed with lymphedema, Raynaud’s, varicose veins or blood clots, medical compression socks would be the best choice for you.
HOW THEY WORK: Like Performance Compression Socks, Medical Compression Socks help manage pain and swelling in your legs, alleviating discomfort and improving blood flow. They are designed to exert the strongest pressure at the ankle region, with compression gradually lessening as you move up the leg towards the heart. This helps improve blood flow greatly by enabling blood to circulate back to your heart quicker.
NOTE: Medical compression socks are covered under most extended health care plans when prescribed by a medical professional!
