How to Put on Compression Stockings
In order to improve your success with putting on compression socks, here are some simple solutions that you can use:
- Place your hand and arm into the compression sock and grab the heel.
- Turn the top of the sock inside out so that there is a little pocket for your foot.
- Place your toes into the sock so that they are situated properly in the foot.
- Wiggle your toes and foot until your natural heel lines up with the heel of the socks.
- Once the socks are in place, grab hold of the cuff and pull them up.
- Smooth out the sock, making sure that there arent any wrinkles in the material, as doing so will ensure the consistent application of pressure.
- Do not fold down or roll the cuff of the socks, make sure the top of the sock is positioned where it is supposed to be located.
