Hey Road Warriors:

Running and Walking is all about being able to recover and stay healthy. The only way for muscles to do that is by the transfer of energy, through proper oxygen flow. Compression socks and sleeves are a proven method to improve oxygen and blood flow to your lower legs.

Tight compression from the knee down is key to increasing blood circulation in the arteries. This means that your legs get a larger supply of oxygen and energy, helping you to recover faster and easier. Compression also helps lend support to the muscle groups of the legs and feet. Because of this it can help relieve pain from injuries, or prevent injuries all together. Common ailments of the lower legs that compression helps prevent are: Shin splints, calf cramping, Achilles issues, and pulled muscles.

Compression is most commonly used during physical activity to add support to muscles and joints and to promote better blood flow that can directly affect your performance. But it can also be used around the house or when you are sleeping to help promote faster recovery to get you ready for the next workout as quickly as possible.
