Compression Stockings in Mississauga

If your legs feel heavy, swollen, tired, or achy after standing or sitting for long periods, compression stockings may help support healthy circulation. At Get Back Physiotherapy, we provide compression stocking assessments and professional fitting for clients throughout Mississauga, including Mineola, Lakeview, Lorne Park, Cooksville, and nearby communities. Every fitting begins with an assessment to determine the appropriate compression level, size, and style based on your needs, daily routine, and health history.

What Are Compression Stockings?

Compression stockings are medical-grade garments that apply controlled pressure to the legs. The pressure is strongest around the ankle and gradually decreases higher up the leg, helping blood move more efficiently toward the heart.

They are commonly used to help people with swelling, poor circulation, varicose veins, or leg fatigue. They may also be recommended during pregnancy, after certain surgical procedures, or for people whose work requires long hours of standing or sitting.

Compression stockings are available in different compression levels, lengths, and styles. Selecting the correct product is important because the wrong size or compression level may not provide the intended support. A professional fitting helps ensure the stockings fit comfortably while providing the appropriate level of compression.

Who Can Benefit From Compression Stockings?

Compression stockings may be suitable for many individuals, including:

• People with swollen feet, ankles, or lower legs.
• Individuals with varicose or spider veins.
• People who spend long hours standing at work.
• Office workers who remain seated for extended periods.
• Pregnant individuals experiencing leg swelling.
• Travellers taking long-distance flights.
• Older adults looking to support circulation.
• People recovering after certain surgeries when recommended by their healthcare provider.
• Individuals managing circulation-related conditions under medical supervision.

Our team helps determine whether compression stockings are appropriate and assists with selecting a product that matches your needs.

An assessment helps identify the factors contributing to these symptoms before recommending a suitable compression garment.
