Getting The Blood Moving Better
There are two kinds of blood vessels in our body.
Arteries and Veins.
For the most part, arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The walls of the arteries are thicker than the walls of the veins and actually help the heart to pump the blood by squeezing or contracting, much like you would squeeze a tube of toothpaste, only much more gently and faster.
Veins on the other hand, have thinner walls and don't do any pumping. They do, however,
Have a set of small valves. These valves open when the blood is pushed past them, and close after each heartbeat, to stop the blood from rushing backwards or downwards in case of legs. Sometimes, these valves become damaged and do not do their job very well. That's where Vascular Support Stocking come in.
Graduate compression Vascular Stocking have been recommended by Doctors for over 40 years and worn by millions of patients. These stockings help to return blood back to the heart by gently compressing your leg muscles, which gently squeeze the veins and push the blood in the right direction. The knit of the stocking is very special. The "squeeze" at the ankle is greater than the "squeeze" at the calf or thigh. They not only give your leg muscles and invigorating little massage as you move, but also help your blood to get where it is supposed to go. That can also help your legs feel better.
