I see many muscle injuries; mainly in the lower limb, a large proportion being in the calf. They are generally on the inside of the calf and referred to as “tennis leg” although there are a variety of ways to sustain the injury – essentially a sudden explosive movement. I do a lot of ultrasound scanning and this is the best way to pick up the injury – it’s a quick and convenient way to scan muscle injuries in the clinic setting and can give a lot of information. Once the diagnosis is made, compression is vital – a graduated…

Anthony Durkin: VR Compression – A Runner’s Review

Meet Anthony Durkin - he's got a great story! We're so glad we could be of help. Between the age of 16-22 I ran at a good level, and competed for my regiment when serving in the Army. Unfortunately on leaving the forces in 2005, I broke my lower left leg really badly. I fractured the tib & fib above the ankle and also fractured my shin at the very top just below the knee. As a result of the severity of the injury, I was told that I wouldn’t run again, which was devastating. I was lucky to even…

Sore ankles from beautiful shoes For those of you who love high heels or love someone who loves high heels, you’re no stranger to sore, swollen and tender feet at the end of a night out or a day at work. Whether you’re the one donning the heels or massaging their sore feet, we’ll bet you don’t know all the facts about why heels make feet and ankles swell.

7 Marathons in VR Compression Socks

Today's blog is courtesy of guest blogger and VR Compression customer Peter McGahan of the Celtic 7 Marathon Challenge. Peter and his good friend Stephane ran 7 marathons to raise money for some very worthy children's charities and VR Compression and the Compression Advisory were there to help and advise them along the way. Hear how they got on straight from the horse's mouth: "If there was an afterlife I wouldn't want to come back as a sock. It's hardly a bonus. You know, big smelly lumps of feet and all that goes with it. But if you could come…

Compression Socks and Tights Are No Longer for Grandma

Even though she wears granny tights, Jamie Rubin, 43, fits no one’s definition of dowdy. As the director of United States sales for the French designer Isabel Marant, Ms. Rubin travels to Paris at least four times a year on business. The many hours spent sitting in a cramped airplane seat often leave her legs and ankles swollen and puffy. In preparation for her most recent sojourn to France, this past September for Paris Fashion Week, Ms. Rubin decided to try compression tights — the thick hose and socks often favored by older people or those trying to address circulation…
