Travel Compression Socks

Travel Compression Socks

Travel compression socks have served savvy travelers well over the last few decades. Their ability to decrease leg pain on international flights is legendary. There are varying strengths of compression, ranging from 10-50 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In most countries you can buy any compression socks over the counter that is 20 mmHg and under; anything over this amount will require a prescription from your doctor.

Travel compression socks are perfect for those who often take long flights or who drive long distances. This is because when you are in the seated position, gravity is your enemy and pulls the blood towards your feet causing blood pooling and that could lead severe health issues.

Another very effective method to help blood circulation involves the use of travel compression socks. These are designed to apply light pressure to your ankles, gradually releasing that pressure up the leg.
