🦶✨ What is Compression Therapy? ✨🦶

Compression therapy is a medical treatment designed to improve blood flow from your limbs back to your heart using compression or support stockings. 🧦 This therapy is essential for treating chronic venous diseases and circulation conditions.

Compression stockings apply gentle, gradual pressure to your ankles, calves, and thighs, promoting blood flow and preventing blood from pooling in your veins. This can help reduce leg pain, swelling, and the risk of developing varicose veins, spider veins, and blood clots.
