Are You At Risk?

Posted on Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

  • Does your day include prolonged time on your feet or periods of sitting?
  • Do you travel over 4 hours at a time?
  • Are you involved in sports and running?
  • Are you over 60?
  • Are you Pregnant?
  • Do you live a sedentary lifestyle?
  • Just recently had surgery or a trauma.
  • Are you over weight?

Leg problems are widespread throughout the world, but what many people don’t know is that approximately 80% of leg disorders originate within the veins.

Venous circulation problems can progressively worsen over time and can affect your health and quality of life.

In most cases, venous problems do not just occur “out of the blue.” There are typical warning signs, such as:

  • Heavy, tired, or aching legs
  • A feeling of tension, cramps, or fatigue
  • Swollen ankles
  • Spider veins
  • Initial signs of varicose veins

Now you can alleviate or eliminate these symptoms by wearing Support Therapy compression sock and hosiery.
