What level of compression does this offer? Medical grade is 20-30 mm/Hg is this possible with shirts and tights?

Its not medical grade. The fit starts fairly snug but loosens up after a few washes and wears

No I don't believe it compresses that well but it's a good fit if you get your size correctly

I am not a MD but I don't see why no. Any compression stockings that are comfortable will work. just be sure they are not to tight at the top that they cut off the circulation. just like any other sock.

The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

All this will do is get the toe to heel started(does that very well). I would think you could just continue it on up to help but the compression are sooo tight sometimes. Might dig in..The compression stocks will still be a struggle

Hi there, and yes it's a small to medium. You would need a large, reason why the small to medium would be way to tight and cut of your circulation. I would recommend a large, to where it still works and feels good at the same time. I love this compression sock, it really works. My pain in my heal has reduced allot, use to have my sock on everyday but not anymore. Hope it works for you

I"m not sure. It's a compression garment. It might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer and ask that question. Here's a link to that page where you cam make the inquiry: http://www.thundershirt.com/ContactUs.aspx

I can't quantify but it does have better compression compared to others I have tried.

I would guess they are on the low end around 10-15 mmhg. If you are looking for higher compression these will not be what you're looking for. I can tell you myself and girlfriend wear them everyday to work and for being on our feet 10 hour shifts neither one of us have any foot pain when getting home now after wear this product.

DO NOT put compression on your legs if you've had a blood clot until you get evaluated by a healthcare provider. You could be compressing your existing veins/ arteries that are bypassing the clot and cause problems. Sincerely, a nure practitioner

If you really want calf and knee compression fully then you can buy the calf skins. These tights help to increase my bloodflow and help me to feel more powerful especially when doing legs. I do not have any calf injuries or knee injuries but I use these for Spin and Heavy Leg Days.

I can't be sure but do know it's better than nothing. I almost think the compression may be too light.

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

Compression. One of my favorites - very comfortable, like a sports bra. However, if you have large breasts it may not work for you.

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.
