Compression garments only work when they’re worn properly—and comfort is key to long-term success. Our certified fitters take the time to measure, fit, and educate you on how to wear and care for your garments.
Pro tip: We recommend coming in early in the day for your fitting, when swelling is typically at its lowest. This ensures the most accurate sizing.
