Compression for Support during Leisure & Sports

Training is all about preparing your body for success. The right compression socks can help you to train harder and for longer. Research proves they help you to recover more quickly after each effort. That's no small feat... The Premiere League champions and many London 2012 Olympians know this firsthand. That's why they, and a host of other leading teams, use VR sports compression socks. 

All our designs come with medically authenticated graduated compression technology that improves your circulation and boosts your body's ability to recover after exercise, with less aches and strain.

Thanks to our detailed sizing guide, our well-fitted VR socks and calf guards are not only super comfortable, the carefully calibrated pressure can also increase awareness of your joints, helping you keep more in tune with your body's capabilities.

Compression Socks for Travel

A recent Cochrane review showed that during travel, medical grade compression can reduce the risk of DVT by up to 90%. When correctly fitted it greatly reduces swelling and oedema while keeping you safe.

Modern travel means lots of sitting; around 400 hours on average each year. Whether you're on a plane, train, or even in a car, after three hours you run the risk of developing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), which can cause discomfort, long-term health issues and even death.

Even on shorter journeys, our medically accredited VR travel socks can make the difference between a comfortable, healthy trip, and tired, aching or even swollen legs. Our socks are designed to keep you safe, comfy and looking good.

Our VR flight socks are trusted by seasoned travellers like the England football team and are issued as standard to BP's highly travelled international executives, who need to arrive at their destinations fit, fresh and at their best. 


They're not just flight socks, they're go-anywhere socks. 

Compression during Pregnancy

Swollen ankles, increased risk of varicose veins, aching legs and cankles are often an unwelcome side effect when you're expecting. Our VR range of maternity hosiery gently squeezes your legs with graduated compression to give you support where you need it.

Compression socks and tights will reduce swelling, ease aches and tiredness, while reducing the risk of unsightly varicose veins. It's all down to graduated compression, recommended by doctors to ease the pressure of pregnancy on your legs by improving your circulation and discouraging fluid retention.

Let our tights take some of the pressure off while you look after your growing bump.

Compression for Healthcare & Rehabilitation

Medical-grade compression has become a vital aspect of healthcare and now forms part of the NICE guidelines (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) for risk reduction of DVT in hospitals. The gctech standard is your guarantee that our compression products meet medical-grade standards with a proven and correct compression profile. In healthcare terms, compression helps with:

• Injuries - any lower leg swelling
• Reduction of the risk of DVT
• Post-operative recovery
• Varicose veins
• Heavy/tired legs
• Peripheral oedema (swelling)

Our medical team has strong links to the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health and UCLH. VR socks are regularly prescribed by doctors all over the world. However, medical-grade compression socks should only be used in association with other treatment; always follow the advice of your doctor.
