Long travels can be both boring and physically draining for passengers. You may be surprised to notice some strange lines or marks on your legs after the trip, due to being stationary for several hours. This can be a problem that lasts for years or permanently. You will find that investing in travel compression socks can greatly alleviate the trouble.
What are Travel Compression Socks?
Travel compression socks are elastic stockings that are specifically designed under the guidance of medical experts to stimulate and promote circulation in the extremities. Gradual compression of the lower extremities, which include the foot, calf and ankles can lead to proper blood circulation which then minimizes fatigue and swelling.
The original models were created by a top medical hosiery company that has been running for over 80 years. Women's socks are particularly rated with a 10 to 15 mmHg compression to prevent DVT or deep vein thrombosis. Men can also wear travel compression socks to prevent problems like varicose veins and muscle spasms.
Features of the Socks
The socks' sizes will depend on the shoe size of the individual. Compression socks should be made with daily comfort fit, thereby reducing the risk for DVT and fatigue. There should be a variety of styles that will improve the appeal or make the socks attractive to wear. The designs will differ among men and women. These should also stay up, having a non-binding top that does not fall down. The material should have an extra smooth toe seam, feels comfortable whether you're standing or sitting all day and machine-washable. Generally, travel compression socks are made of both nylon and spandex and extend up to the knee.
The Right Way to Wear
Make sure that the compression is gradual so that proper stimulation of circulation is done. If the socks feel too tight, take them off and request for a different pair. The travel socks should be readily wearable any time of the day, depending on your needs. DVT or deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition that should be avoided, especially if you already have familial risk.
Some of the other measures you can do together with wearing the socks include stretching and moving your legs for 30 to 60 minutes during the trip. Drink at least a liter of water for every hour of the journey. When on long plane rides, elevate your legs by resting them on the under seat or slowly at the back of the seat in front of you. Change your seat position throughout the flight or walk along the aisle for added exercise and circulation.
Additional Sock Info
When choosing the right travel compression socks, consider the thickness. Try wearing the compression socks a week before traveling to let them stretch out and improve the circulation in your feet once you wear shoes. Also try on different shoes to know which ones fit perfectly. As for pressure rating, rating should be over 14 mm Hg. Talk to your physician first before wearing socks rated over 20 mm Hg. The socks should not be worn without consulting a doctor if the person has conditions like leg ulceration, dermatitis, gangrenous disease, skin graft surgery and vascular disease. Always check for any unusual reactions in your lower extremities and report these to your doctor for full assessment.
