I had 3 children back to back which wreaked havoc on the veins in my legs. Several years ago I got a golf ball sized clot in a vein on the side of my knee. It was super painful and scary. It took YEARS to resolve. I contributed it, in part, to sitting for long periods of time. It happened during a road trip so now I am extra cautious when I travel. I wear compression socks and make sure to stretch and walk as much as possible.
Compression socks don’t have to be ugly! I love Dr. Motion compressions socks because they’re super comfortable and come in the cutest styles that make them really fun to wear! The knee-high socks have mild compression (8-15mmHg) with a non-binding band and a smooth toe seam. The graduated support helps relieve tired, aching legs and feet.
Compression socks maximize circulation and minimize swelling. They’re perfect for work, especially if you are standing or sitting for long periods of time, mild activity, and travel. I always wear mine while flying or taking a road trip.
Dr. Motion socks also feature warm, moisture-wicking, breathable material with anti-odor properties. I love the way they fit, look and feel on my feet and legs! I also love the wide variety of styles and designs they offer. I mean, how cute are the pair with the little dogs on them? Adorable! The lace pattern ones are so pretty and the polka dot ones are super fun without being too out-there. You can find Dr. Motion compression socks at Kohl’s, Target, Walmart, and online on Amazon.com.
