Compression therapy does an amazing job at helping lessen both joint and soft tissue discomfort and quite frankly ive been able to endure not only one but two very challenging pregnancies with a little help from compression garments most importantly compression socksmy youngest sisterinlaw is expecting and has loose ankles by genetics so i was quick to go looking for a pair of compression socks that didnt look too sportyshes a bit of a girlygirl so there was no way id get her to try something if it looked manly or athletic and to my surprise i was able to find lovely purple compression socks
