Travel Socks - Buy before you fly, take a train, a bus or automobile!
Whether you travel by plane, train, automobile, or bus, any trip that lasts more than a few hours could leave your legs swollen and achy. And if you travel for a long period of time (5 hours or more), the problem can become more serious, swollen and achy legs are just one part of the problem. Travellers need to be aware of, and take measures against, a more serious condition called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or embolism. Once a blood clot develops, it can break away from the vein wall and this could lead to major complications or death. Research has revealed thatwearing flight socks can reduce by 90% the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis - DVT.

Graduated Compression Stocking & Socks

Compression therapy has been repeatedly proven effective in the treatment and prevention of venous disorders. Research has shown that stockings are effective in reducing leg symptoms only when the compression is graduated, meaning the pressure is greatest at the ankle and sequentially less up the leg. The compression of the hosiery physically reduces the circumference of the limb and the superficial veins. By decreasing the size of the veins, blood flows faster, which helps prevent the blood from pooling and the chances of developing a thrombus.

What do law, medical, information technology professionals and office workers have in common? If they spend long hours in a seated or standing position - not moving - they may share an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis as per study carried out overseas.
