Compression garments apply gentle, controlled pressure to your legs. This helps support circulation by encouraging blood to flow back toward the heart and prevent from pooling in the lower legs., which can help reduce feelings of heaviness, swelling, and fatigue.

Graduated compression means the garment is tightest at the ankle and gradually loosens up the leg.

This design helps circulation more effectively than uniform pressure because it encourages blood flow back to your heart. 

mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is the unit used to measure compression strength.

20–30 mmHg is considered a firm level of compression and is the most commonly recommended level for everyday support and moderate leg fatigue.

The general scientifically proven benefits of graduated compression are:

• Reduce leg fatigue
• Ease swelling
• Improve comfort during long periods of sitting or standing
• Feel more supported throughout the day

Compression can be helpful for:

• People who sit or stand for long hours
• Frequent travelers
• Those experiencing tired or heavy legs
• Anyone looking for added leg support during daily activities

Most people can comfortably wear compression during the day.

If you have underlying medical conditions, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

You can wear compression anytime you want extra support, including:

• Workdays
• Travel (especially flights)
• Running errands
• Exercise
• Recovery after long days

Compression garments are generally designed for daytime wear. If you’re considering wearing them overnight, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider.

Compression should feel snug and supportive, not painful.

You may notice more pressure around the ankles, which is normal for graduated compression.

Most people can wear compression safely without a prescription. However, you should consult your physician if you have certain circulatory or medical conditions.

Compression may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, such as:

• Severe arterial disease
• Certain heart conditions
• Active skin infections

If you’re unsure, check with your healthcare provider.

We recommend wearing the Tression Ankle-Length Compression Socks along with the Tression Trousers and Leggings that are designed for this purpose. Always consult with your health care provider to confirm suitability for your individual needs.
