Comfort, Support & Better Leg Circulation
Tired, heavy, or swollen legs can affect your comfort throughout the day. Whether you spend long hours standing, sitting, or travelling, properly fitted compression stockings may help support healthy venous circulation and manage certain lower-leg symptoms.
At PhysioFirst Physiotherapy in Surrey, BC, our Custom Compression Stockings service focuses on helping patients find appropriate compression garments based on their individual needs.
What Are Custom Compression Stockings?
Medical compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply graduated pressure to the legs, generally providing greater compression near the ankle and gradually decreasing pressure higher up the leg.
This pressure can help support blood flow back toward the heart and reduce fluid accumulation in the lower legs.
Benefits of Compression Stockings
Improved Venous Circulation: Support blood return from the legs.
Reduced Leg Swelling: Help manage certain types of lower-leg edema.
Relief from Heavy, Tired Legs: Improve comfort for some people who stand or sit for extended periods.
Support for Venous Conditions: May help manage symptoms associated with varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency.
Everyday Comfort: Provide appropriate support during daily activities and travel.

Leg swelling or heaviness
Varicose veins

Specific medical conditions requiring compression support
