Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Alleviates Symptoms of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) During Activity: Helps mitigate symptoms like leg heaviness and fatigue, allowing for more comfortable and sustained physical activity.
• Reduces Muscle Fatigue and Soreness: The compressive support is believed to reduce micro-tears and muscle vibration, leading to less perceived exertion and faster recovery.
• Improves Proprioception and Stability: The snug fit can enhance the sense of joint position (proprioception) in the ankle and lower leg, potentially improving stability.
• Ideal for High-Impact and Endurance Sports: Beneficial for runners, basketball players, hikers, and anyone engaged in activities that place repetitive stress on the lower legs.
• Travel and Post-Exercise Recovery: Excellent for wearing during travel to prevent DVT risk or after workouts to aid in muscle recovery and reduce next-day stiffness.
