Travel

Have you ever finshed a long journey and thought, did my shoes shrink? If so, you’re not alone – leg swelling is a very common side effect of long distance travel.

Travel Comfortably and Safely

Embarking on a journey should be an exciting and enjoyable experience, but long hours of travel can take a toll on your legs, leading to discomfort and health risks. This page offers valuable tips and expert advice on caring for your legs while travelling. Whether flying across continents, embarking on a road trip, or using public transportation, our practical recommendations aim to enhance your travel comfort and protect your leg health.

Discover how simple measures, such as wearing the right compression gear and staying active, can make a significant difference in how you feel during and after your journey. Let's ensure your travel plans are marked by adventure and joy, not discomfort and health concerns.

Compression for Travel

Wearing medical compression stockings during long-distance travel is highly recommended. This, combined with intermittent movement, helps combat the risks associated with long-duration sitting by promoting blood flow, preventing swelling associated with travel, and assisting travellers in arriving at their destination safely and comfortably.

Activa travel socks offer a clinically proven level of compression (14-17mmHg ) that helps to increase blood flow, reducing the risk of circulatory problems, including flight-related DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and swollen ankles.

Why Choose Our Travel Socks?

Enhanced Circulation

Our travel socks are designed to provide graduated compression, encouraging better blood flow from your lower legs back to your heart.

Reduced Swelling

By promoting circulation, our socks help prevent fluid buildup, keeping your legs comfortable and less swollen.

Comfort and Durability

Made with traveller's comfort in mind, our socks are breathable, soft, and designed to last through countless journeys.

Risk Reduction

Regular movement, hydration, and our travel socks work together to reduce your risk of developing DVT and other circulation-related issues during long trips.
