Women's Health and Where Compression Technology Fits In

Women at all stages of life need to put their health as a top priority and compression socks for women are a great start. All the demands placed on the body can take a toll. Be it taking care of a family, grinding it out for your career, working out to stay in shape or de-stress, or dealing with chronic or acute diseases or conditions, there’s a lot of potential to negatively impact your overall health. Whether you’re a young professional athlete, suffering from pregnancy symptoms or constantly are on your feet either for work or running around with the kids, here are a few ways compression socks for women can fit into your life to boost your overall well-being.

What is Compression Technology?

Before diving into the depths of all the ways you can incorporate compression gear technology to positively impact your health, let’s start with the basics. What is compression technology anyways? Well, when you hear the term in reference to socks or sleeves, it is most likely referring to graduated compression technology. Compression socks for women that are designed with graduated compression technology have one major function, and that’s to improve circulation to the areas they wrap around. So, for example, with an over-the-calf compression sock, a subtle amount of pressure is applied from the feet all the way up over the calf just below the knee.

The way graduated compression works is that it applies varying compression levels throughout the limbs, with a slightly more increased amount of pressure towards the feet and less up the calf and lower leg. This intentional design encourages de-oxygenated blood to flow back towards the heart to get replenished with fresh oxygen molecules. At the same time, oxygen-rich blood works to move towards the lower limbs. The entire interaction, exchange and flow works to prevent general inflammation and swelling within the limbs and blood vessels.

Uses of Compression Socks for Women

With this science in mind, next comes the practical applications of compression socks for women and how they improve women’s health.

Compression Socks for Pregnant Women

A common symptom experienced during pregnancy is swelling in the limbs, especially around the feet. The fluid that builds up in limbs can eventually lead to edema (swelling). If not treated, swollen limbs can be both uncomfortable and debilitating, which are both things you can do without while pregnant. Compression socks for women can work to improve circulation within feet by continually encouraging blood flow, thus reducing and preventing swelling.

Compression Socks for Varicose Veins

Women experiencing varicose veins understand the annoyance and sometimes pain caused by them. Varicose veins refer to the blood that pools behind the small valves within veins. They can prevent blood from flowing back to the heart and are very common within the legs and feet due to the longer distance that blood has to travel to the heart. To reduce the appearance of varicose veins as well as the pain they can cause, compression socks for women are highly recommended. Because these specialty socks specifically target the area most prone to varicose veins, they can directly address the problem, and begin to push the blood towards the heart and stop it from collecting in the wrong places.

Compression Socks for Exercise

Women that participate in any amount of physical activity can benefit greatly from compression socks. When you exercise, the ultimate goal is to improve your overall fitness and well-being, right? Well compression socks can help get you well on your way to just that. During your workouts, especially the sessions that require an extra amount of energy and endurance from your body, your tissues, joints and muscles need to be supplied with the proper amount of blood flow in order to avoid fatigue and soreness. Compression socks work to deliver energy and oxygen-rich blood cells to continually fuel your muscles before, during and after your workout.

Compression Socks for Work

The amount of time you put into work should equate to the amount of effort you put into being healthy on the job. Whether you have a job that requires long periods of sitting, extensive travel, or being on your feet at a constant rate, compression socks for women can help keep you stay comfortable and healthy. Compression socks can slide right under professional dress attire for those working in an office setting and have to sit all day. These socks work to provide the most optimal circulation so legs don’t go numb after long periods of sitting at the desk and in meetings. If you’re constantly traveling and required to sit for long periods of time, it’s crucial to keep blood flowing to your limbs to avoid soreness. And if you’re always on your feet at work, be it at a restaurant, in a hospital or just doing everyday mom activities, compression socks for women work to reduce swelling and constantly rejuvenate your legs so you can keep moving.
