Compression Sock Fitting

**Compression Sock Fitting** Compression sock fitting is a physiotherapy service that involves assessing and measuring the lower limbs to determine the appropriate size, style, and level of compression for medical-grade compression garments. These garments apply graduated pressure to the legs, which helps support healthy circulation and reduce swelling. During the fitting, a Registered Physiotherapist will evaluate factors such as leg measurements, swelling patterns, circulation concerns, medical history, and lifestyle needs. Based on this assessment, the physiotherapist will recommend the most appropriate compression level and garment type to ensure both therapeutic effectiveness and comfort. Compression socks are commonly recommended for individuals experiencing leg swelling (edema), varicose veins, venous insufficiency, prolonged standing or sitting, post-injury or post-surgical swelling, and for those looking to support circulation during daily activities or travel. Proper fitting is important to ensure the garment provides the correct amount of compression without causing discomfort or restricting circulation. Your physiotherapist will also provide education on how to properly put on, remove, and care for the compression garments to maximize their effectiveness and longevity.
