Muscles recover the more they get oxygenated. Since compression socks help increase blood flow in the legs it will lead to an increase in the reflux of blood into your heart which helps oxygenation. This makes it so that the muscles in your legs receive a bigger flow of oxygenated blood compared to if you had no worn compression socks. This helps against muscle aching, soreness and lactic acid.
Compression socks have a wide area of use, more so than what most people might think. If you are an elite athlete you might already be using compression socks both during competition, but also afterwards to help the recovery process of the muscles. They also work well while traveling between competitions, when you might be limited in regards to leg space and you also sit still for large amounts of time.
As a horse rider you probably spend a lot of time in the stable. This is a great place to make use of compression socks as you stand up much of the time and put a lot of stress on your legs, even though it is outside of competition or casual horse riding. As a swimmer it is also common to use compression socks after a race to help the leg muscles recovery process. The list of sports and athletics where using compression socks can be of benefit is long.
Even during casual exercising you can feel the benefit of using compression socks. A hard workout can really take its toll on the legs and periosteum. Who hasn’t been walking around stiff legged after a long run? Compression socks are also great to use on your vacation, no matter if you are skiing or on a shopping trip. They can also be used if your work requires you to either sit down a lot, which lowers the amount of blood flowing into your legs, or if you stand up much of time, which puts stress on your legs.
