The main purpose of Rockets CompresSox™ is to provide graduated pressure on the lower leg. The key to understanding Rockets CompresSox™ lies in their graduated pressure application. Throughout exercise as well as during one’s daily activities, the heart pumps blood to all of the working muscles in all the extremities as equally as it can. However, gravity often causes blood to pool in the lower legs and feet, causing circulatory problems such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis which often results in fatigue and leg cramps. Elevating the legs may ease the discomfort temporarily, but it often returns again after a few hours of constant standing or walking.

This is where the use of Rockets CompresSox™ can be extremely beneficial. Rockets CompresSox™ use stronger elastics fabric that consists out a combination of lycra and silicone in order to create significant gradual pressure on the surface of the skin. By generating compression to the surface veins, arteries and muscles, the circulating blood is forced through narrower channels. The arterial pressure is increased, causing more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the lower extremities. The Rockets CompresSox™ is specific designed to be tightest at the ankles, gradually become less constrictive towards the knees.

To conclude, as with the Rockets Leggings™ and Rockets Tops™, Rockets CompresSox™ will improve your performance and recovery by:

• Increasing oxygen transport and delivery to the working muscles
• Assisting in removal of lactic acid from working muscles
• Accelerating venous return to the heart
• Ensuring greater mechanical efficiency by allowing less muscle vibration
• Assisting with temperature control
