When it comes to compression therapy, correct sizing and garment selection is very important. Incorrect sizing can cause discomfort and pain which may result in you not using your stockings. In the comfort and privacy of our ASSIST room, we help patients to select the compression garments suited to their needs and ensure they are confident to use them. We keep a variety of stockings, socks, arm sleeves, and sports garments.
We offer a made-to-measure service for those customers who require custom made sizes. Our team are fully trained in measurement techniques and are very familiar with our products to provide advice for your individual needs.
When you wash your garment, you are not only cleaning it for hygiene reasons but also to maintain its compression. By washing regularly, you are strengthening the elastic and restoring your compression.
