compression socks

Compression garments gained popularity mainly because of what the name suggests: compression. The super-snug fit of a compression garment tightly binds the muscles together underneath it. This tight fit is far from uncomfortable, however, and there are actually a few types of compression garments arranged according to how intense the pressure in question is. There are varieties ranging from light to strong pressure, and the length of the garment (such as a compression stocking or sock) can also vary, for instance from knee-length to above the thigh, so you can cover the needed area.
