Benefits of Compression Socks and Garments

Compression Garments & Socks at Cobblestone
Compression garments are a simple yet highly effective way to support your circulation, manage swelling, and promote recovery — especially if you’re dealing with a medical condition, recovering from surgery, or spending long hours on your feet. At Cobblestone, we often recommend compression socks and garments as part of a personalized rehab or physiotherapy plan.
These specially designed items apply gentle pressure to the legs or arms, helping blood and lymphatic fluid flow more efficiently. They’re easy to wear, discreet under clothing, and available in a variety of sizes and compression levels to match your specific needs.
Who can benefit from compression garments?
Compression socks and garments are commonly recommended for:
Chronic venous insufficiency
Varicose veins or spider veins
Lymphedema
Post-surgical swelling (e.g. after joint replacement or vascular surgery)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention
Leg fatigue from prolonged sitting, standing, or travel
Diabetes-related circulatory concerns
Pregnancy-related swelling in the legs and feet
Athletes looking to improve post-exercise recovery
How do they work?
By gently squeezing the surface of the limbs, compression garments help push blood back toward the heart and encourage lymphatic drainage. This reduces swelling, prevents fluid build-up, and minimizes discomfort in areas prone to pooling or fatigue. For post-surgical or rehab patients, this can speed healing and help prevent complications.
Why Cobblestone?
At Cobblestone, we do more than recommend a garment — we ensure you’re getting the right type, fit, and compression level for your condition or recovery stage. Your physiotherapist or clinician will walk you through how to wear and care for your garments, and explain how they support the rest of your treatment plan.
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from injury, or simply looking for a preventative tool to improve daily comfort, compression garments are a proven, non-invasive option that can make a noticeable difference.
Ask your provider about adding compression socks or garments to your rehab program — we’re here to help you move better, feel better, and recover smarter.
