Compression garments are specially designed clothing items that apply consistent pressure to specific areas of the body. They are commonly used in medical, athletic, and everyday settings. These garments, including compression socks, are designed to apply graduated compression to the limb and to help support the muscles and joints.
There are various types of compression garments available, each serving a specific function. Compression socks are commonly chosen to:
- Help support tired, aching legs through long periods of sitting, standing or travel
- Provide graduated compression where a healthcare professional has recommended it
- Support the arms or calves during and after exercise
Other types of compression garments include compression shorts, pants, and tops for targeted support in different areas of the body.

If you have a diagnosed circulatory condition, are pregnant, have diabetes, or are recovering from surgery, please check with your doctor, physiotherapist, or healthcare professional to confirm this product is suitable for your condition and to confirm the correct compression level and sizing.

How to choose the best compression garment?
- Determine the purpose. Identify why you need a compression garment, whether it's for medical, athletic, or everyday purposes, as this will influence the type and level of compression required.
- Consult a healthcare professional. If you have a specific medical condition or injury, consult with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance on the appropriate compression level and type of garment.
- Measure accurately. Take precise measurements of the body part that requires compression to ensure a proper fit. This may include measurements of the circumference at various points and the length from specific landmarks.
- Consider compression level. Compression garments are available in different compression levels, typically measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Choose a level that aligns with your needs, such as mild, moderate, or high compression.
- Material and comfort. Look for compression garments made from breathable and moisture-wicking materials that provide comfort and allow for ease of movement. Consider features such as seamless construction and soft, non-irritating fabric.
- Brand reputation and quality. Choose compression garments from reputable brands known for their quality and durability. You can trust Australian Healthcare Supplies for quality compression garment products and supports.
- Specific features. Consider additional features such as open-toe or closed-toe options for compression socks, adjustable closures for a customised fit, or specific designs for targeted support in certain areas.
