Compression sock question

You've come to the right place. Compression socks and stockings are designed for compression therapy. They apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles, promoting blood flow from your legs to your heart. The socks can also reduce pain and swelling in your ankles and legs. Although you may be picturing tight, white, knee-high knit socks that were the popular style back in the 80s, compression socks have actually come a long way. You can find them in a range of colors – from skin hues to unique prints. Athletic compression socks tend to have special stitching that provide pressure and support in specific areas, like the calves or arch of the foot; whereas, a medical-grade compression sock tends to be tighter in the ankle and gradually less restrictive as it moves up the leg. And they aren’t just for legs; arm sleeves are popular for the same reasons. Compression therapies – whether it's from stockings, compression boots, or hydrostatic pressure (water) – have proven useful in improving blood flow. OweO's legs don't work so they help him with blood blow back to his heart since he is sitting all day. Veins have one-way valves that prevent the backflow of blood and support blood flow in one direction – from your extremities and organs back to your heart.

They are still promoting Jazzercise

I think this is a common reaction for people who know it only as the 80s workout imitated by theme partygoers in thong leotards and leg warmers. Picture OwlFan. But Jazzercise does in fact still exist and thong leotards and leg warmers are a thing of the past. And it’s not something that exists but is just barely hanging on for dear life. In terms of accessibility, this workout can be for anyone. The class was a mix of women my age (30ish), my mom’s age (50ish, jk my mom is 60) and definitely some grandmothers. And they will all make you look like a little weakling when they can make it through the arm song without stopping and you can’t.
