Compression Stockings

Compression therapy uses a medical-grade, graduated elastic garment around the leg. By applying higher pressure at the ankle that gradually decreases upward, these stockings boost venous return, reduce swelling, and relieve aching, heavy legs.

At HealthMax Physiotherapy, we provide compression stockings in Toronto and the GTA, featuring premium THERAFIRM® medical gradient stockings. Made entirely in the USA, THERAFIRM® products meet strict medical standards and use Micro-Cool® yarns to keep skin dry and comfortable.

Following a comprehensive assessment, our physiotherapists will recommend the right level of compression stockings if they align with your treatment goals.

A Preventative Medical Device

Compression levels—mild (15-20 mmHg), moderate (20-30 mmHg), and firm (30-40 mmHg)—provide tailored support that prevents blood pooling and promotes healthy circulation.

• Mild Support (15-20 mmHg): Helps relieve tired, aching legs and minor swelling.
• Moderate Support (20-30 mmHg): Ideal for moderate swelling, varicosities, and post-sclerotherapy care.
• Firm Support (30-40 mmHg): Recommended for severe swelling, lymphedema, and advanced varicose veins.

Combined Treatments

When paired with physiotherapy, manual therapy, or exercise programs, compression stockings can accelerate recovery and prevent future venous issues. Our experienced technicians will measure and fit you for Toronto compression stockings that match your exact leg profile—ensuring comfort and optimal results.
