HOW DO THEY WORK?
For most effective results, socks or stockings should be put on at the start of your day and removed before you go to bed. As you walk, the contraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins are necessary to help move blood toward the heart. Compression socks or stockings are vital for the prevention of circulatory problems, especially for individuals who are at risk.
