Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and fragile. Even the most minor fall or sudden movement can cause a fracture or break with the potential to become life-threatening or debilitating.
Experienced runners and sports enthusiasts have been relying on compression socks for years. Newer to the market are compression shin sleeves, designed to reduce recovery time, prevent injury and provide relief from swelling, cramping, aching calf muscles and shin splints. This can be especially important for basketball players, who are prone to overexertion and injury during the basketball season – and simply don’t have time to sit on the sidelines as they wait to heal.
Compression Therapy and clothing has proven to be successful in decreasing recovery times, supporting proper blood flow, and making your body feel better. There are benefits to wearing compression stockings and compression socks. You can wear both at the same time or wear just one of the two. This decision depends on the condition that you are looking to address. There are no limitations to how long you can wear compression wear, but if you have a current health condition you should refer to your doctor.
The average American adult spends 6.5 hours a day sitting, a fact attributed to more time spent on computers. Alas, it is also promoting sedentary behavior. Sitting too much is unhealthy, and increases the risk for obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and high blood pressure, to name a few conditions. Therefore, if you have a job that requires you to sit most of the time, it is crucial that you introduce or increase movement in your daily routine to prevent health problems and medical disorders.
