Who Can Benefit?
Compression for Work
VIM & VIGR compression legwear is scientifically designed to offer support to your legs all day, every day, no matter your activity. Sitting or standing, in the office or on their rounds, people of all professions can benefit from our therapeutic threads.
- Being on your feet all day puts a 20% greater strain on the circulatory system and on the legs and feet, which can cause fatigue and soreness.
- Sitting for 90 minutes or more can cause blood flow below the knees to decrease by 50%, significantly increasing the chance of blood clots and reducing the amount of freshly oxygenated blood to your legs.
- Compression socks help alleviate achiness and heaviness, energize legs & reduce swelling.
Compression for Pregnancy

- Swelling is a common side effect of pregnancy, due to extra fluid produced to support a healthy baby
- Swelling, or edema, in the legs & feet can be uncomfortable
- Compression socks help reduce swelling & prevent the development of varicose veins by increasing circulation in the lower legs

Compression for Exercise
Compression socks are a useful recovery tool for both serious athletes and casual exercisers.
