If you have been bombarded with compression garment advertisements, you know there are a lot of different options. So which garments are more suited for use for your pain, swelling and condition?
Veronica Watson, Lymphatic Drainage, Lymphedema, Lipodema, Compression and Remedial Massage Therapists located at Lethbridge, has seen patients for many years suffering with swollen, painful, fatigued and sore tired legs as well as many inflammatory conditions.
“Medical grade compression has helped many people with pain relief for many inflammatory and swelling conditions. Many people benefit from wearing graded compression,” explained Veronica.
Graded Compression with Comfort, Ease & Style (sub heading)
Talking Compression leggings are circular knit graduated garments which provide slight pressure in a pumping effect to the legs helping blood and lymph circulation.
The design gives flexibility and graded compression with fashion, functionality and fun in mind. Ideal for foot, ankle, knee, and leg pain, cramps, leg swelling, the leg measurements can stretch to fit 98cm comfortably and the arm shrugs help support the arms reducing the pain with carpel tunnel, sore wrists, as well as tired sore arms.
Many hairdressers, like Laura, find the arm shrug helps alleviate the pain working in the salon. Laura says it helps her energy levels and arm fatigue during busy days.
“I can work pain free all day” Laura said.
If you consider purchasing a compression garment to help with a diagnosed condition, disease or injury, be sure to seek guidance from your medical specialists to determine which type of garment may be appropriate for you.
