Maternity Compression

Maternity compression is similar to regular compression. Graduated compression is strongest at the ankle and decreasing going up the leg – the compression stocking helps the venous return, decreases venous pressure, prevents venous stasis and deterioration of venous walls, and efficiently relieves aching and heavy legs by aiding the body in moving blood up the leg against the pull of gravity.

Indications include chronic and acute venous diseases, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, leg ulcers, diabetes, lymphedema, prolonged standing, travel and pregnancy.

Why Compression Garments Matter

• Reduce Swelling & Improve Circulation
  Graduated compression, such as in leggings or sleeves, enhances venous return and lymphatic flow—helping reduce swelling, leg fatigue, and discomfort during and after pregnancy.
• Relieve Pain & Enhance Mobility
  Compression garments can alleviate postpartum discomfort, support healing of C‑section incisions, and provide stability to abdominal and pelvic muscles—so you can move more comfortably.
• Boost Postural Stability & Healing
  Clinical research shows that pelvic compression belts significantly improve postural stability in postpartum women—making everyday movement smoother and safer.
• Support Core Recovery (Gently)
  While not a cure-all, compression wraps can help ease discomfort from stretched abdominal muscles and support healing—when used cautiously and not overly tight.
