Compression socks offer a lot of advantages to those carrying out heavy workouts on a regular basis. They have been on the market for some time now, and some even consider them an integral part of a successful workout session.
For years compression socks and stockings have been used for medical reasons by people with lower leg problems like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), poor circulation in their legs, and those with varicose veins or leg ulcers. In recent years they have grown in popularity with certain professions like aviation, nursing and recreationally for runners and other men as a part of workout recovery.
