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.
