(Australia-NewsWire.Com, January 26, 2015 ) Sydney, NSW -- Compression wear brand CompressionZ launches foot sleeves to offer relief from plantar fasciitis and other conditions that need heel and arch support.
The ankle sock is designed with graduated compression, an anti-static and anti-odor material and is being promoted as suitable for daily wear for active individuals. The sleeves are ideally meant for individuals who spend a lot of time traveling or on their foot. According to CompressionZ, the socks will also offer relief from pain caused by foot conditions like edema, stress fracture, Achilles tendon etc. The sleeves can be worn when sleeping, as a more comfortable replacement for night splints.
According to CompressionZ, the foot sleeves will offer the user a snug fit and sturdiness to the foot while still allowing movement, and will reduce swelling and pain related to plantar fasciitis, metatarsal or heel pain, Achilles tendon pain and other conditions.
The brand has used anti-itch material in the sleeves and insulated breathable fabric to make the foot comfortable and warm. The foot sleeves are also designed to stay in place, retain shape after multiple washes and prevent odor-causing bacteria build-up.
Plantar fasciitis, which is also known as heel pain syndrome, is a condition that affects around 2 million people in the US each year, according to the American Chiropractic Association. It can be caused by sudden trauma to the foot or it can be brought on gradually because of some degenerative process. Prolonged activity and weight bearing can aggravate the symptoms.
Compression foot sleeves and other medical socks and stockings are a common pain relief solution for many foot problems faced by athletes, nurses, fitness enthusiasts and others who spend a lot of time traveling or walking throughout the day. Compression sleeves and socks are different from anti-embolism stockings in that compression sleeves offer higher compression than anti-embolism socks (at 15 to 20 mmHg against 8 to 18 mmHg) and are meant for ambulatory patients rather than those who are bedridden.
Graduated compression is a common technology used in plantar fasciitis socks. Standard compression wear applies a defined pressure on the lower limb, but graduated compression involves decreasing the pressure from the bottom to the top to encourage improved blood flow from the lower limbs to the heart.
The CompressionZ foot sleeves come in pairs, and are available in different sizes for men and women. They may be worn on both feet or one at a time, with the other kept for backup.
