Compression levels and their importance</h2 >

The compression level of support socks is a critical factor in ensuring they provide the right support. We offer different levels of compression that indicate the amount of pressure or compression the socks provide, and are used to address different medical conditions and needs:

• Class 1 (10-21 mmHg): offers a lower level of pressure. These support stockings are recommended for the relief of mild venous problems, such as varicose veins. They are also ideal for counteracting heavy and swollen legs and reducing fluid accumulation in the legs. Class 1 is an excellent choice for those who experience mild fatigue symptoms and are effective during long periods of sitting, such as during travel.

• Class 2 (23-32 mmHg): </strong >provide a higher level of pressure and are effective for those with chronic venous insufficiency, more severe varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, and lymphedema after blood clots are recommended class 2. They are also used effectively to relieve more severe fatigue symptoms in the legs. Our class 2 support socks are designed to provide powerful and more concentrated support to relieve symptoms and improve comfort through increased blood circulation in the legs.

Understanding compression levels is critical to choosing the right support sock for your needs and ensuring you receive optimal health benefits.

< h2 style="text-align: left;">Use of support socks in sports and training

Support stockings are not only limited to medical use, they have also become an important part in the sports and fitness world. Here are some reasons why support socks can be beneficial during physical activity:

• Reduced fatigue: One of the primary benefits of using support socks during exercise is their ability to reduce muscle fatigue. By applying compression to the legs during physical activity, the muscles are supported and the vibrations that occur with each step or movement are reduced. This can lead to reduced fatigue during training and increased endurance. For athletes striving to perform at their peak level, the use of support socks can be a strategic measure to maximize your performance.
• Improved recovery: After intense training or competition, rapid recovery is essential to minimize exercise-related muscle damage and prepare the body for the next challenge. Support stockings play a central role in this recovery process by promoting increased blood circulation. The improved blood flow helps transport oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to the muscles, which accelerates the elimination of exercise-induced metabolites. The result is a faster recovery time and reduced muscle swelling, allowing you to return to your training with full force sooner.
• Preventive measure: Support stockings act as a preventive measure by reducing the risk of injury during physical activity. The increased circulation helps keep the muscles warm and loose, reducing the risk of strains and sprains. Additionally, socks can support the joints and ligaments, providing an extra level of stability and protection during movement.

Integrating support socks into your training routine can be seen as an investment in your overall performance and health. Whether you are a professional athlete, exerciser or simply someone who loves to exercise, this can be a valuable companion to improve your training performance and reduce the risk of injury.
