How did we end up in the wonderful world of compression garments? This is a question we are regularly asked!
Very simply we were at a medical trade show walked around a corner and there was a lovely pull up roller sign with a fashionable leg sporting polka dot tights! The text said "helps prevent varicose veins". It wasn't something we had seen in Ireland - compression stockings are normally seen as boring and beige worn.
Suddenly we were hooked in the world of compression garments - preventative, venous, odema, lymphedema. It was "a whole new world" and so interesting.
We have been on a journey and met some lovely people.
In our blog we are going to try and demystify the world of compression garments and if you do wear compression garments - we will introduce you to all the options - it really is like a box of chocolates.
Rather than viewing compression garments as a curse - be a glass half full type of person - embrace compression and lets go on the journey together.
