Fitness and Recovery

Enhance your performance and recovery with compression socks

Wearing compression socks or stockings during and post exercise can offer multiple benefits to your leg health.

Compression socks work by gently squeezing your legs to apply the right levels of pressure to increase the circulation of blood flow in the body. Good blood flow allows for increased levels of oxygen to reach working muscles and tissues which leads to a faster recovery. Learn more about how compression socks work.

Wearing compression socks post exercise as part of the recovery process helps to:

  • Reduce swelling

  • Improve circulation

  • Reduce muscle soreness

As a keen cyclist, cycling between 100-150 miles per week, I started to develop very painful cramps and discomfort after rides, even after taking adequate amounts of supplements and hydration. Compression socks were advised by my doctor due to prominent varicose veins in one of my legs. I was referred to L&R by a friend and I’ve got to say that these have helped no end with my circulation, post ride, and the painful cramps are no more and make recovery so much more bearable.
