Customer Service RepresentativeTypes of Lymphedema & Compression We Carry:
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that causes a buildup of fluid and swelling in various parts of the body including hands, arms, feet, neck, legs, ankles and feet due to damage of the lymphatic system.
Compression Wraps & Custom Garments are one of the mainstays of therapy to help reduce swelling, relieve pain, prevent progression and enhance the quality of life by providing a controlled amount of pressure through a pressure gradient to help move lymphatic fluid, prevent build up and reduce swelling.
These are very convenient and easy to use solutions to help enhance the quality of life within your own home by wearing ready to wear wraps or custom sleeves, stockings and garments.

Compression socks will reduce the pain and swelling in the lower limbs that occur as a result of lack of mobility and tight spaces. The reduced circulation increases the risk of clots and other serious conditions such as heart attacks.
Graduated compression stockings are essential for those travelling. Our certified compression fitters will help measure and provide you with options when selecting compression stockings that will best suit your travel needs. Let us help you get to your destination in style!
Speak to a specialist905-822-1614Pregnancy brings a myriad of physical challenges, from swelling to circulation. Maternity compression is able to help alleviate some of the discomforts while promoting adequate circulation and nutrition for mommy to be and the growing baby. Compression will also help keep you active, comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy.
Exhaustion, swelling and discomfort are often experienced throughout a pregnancy term. This can affect the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the mother and potentially distress the growing baby.
Our Certified Compression Fitters at ADAPT Home Health Care will help you select the best type of compression for your pregnancy. Products range from maternity graduated compression stockings and support bands which are useful from the first month until the baby is born. These maternity specific products are breathable and have a high elastic support in order to keep mommy comfortable.
Speak to a specialist905-822-1614Compression stockings are useful in treatment and prevention. There are different levels of compression that are available based on an individual’s needs and treatment goals. Basic (mild) compression is available without a prescription and doesn’t require custom measurements, although we do recommend it.
If you are planning to use compression for treatment and prevention then we recommend moderate to firm compression stockings which are usually available through a prescription. Most private insurance plans provide funding to help cover these compression socks as they do help prevent further debilitating conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
Compression stockings don’t have to be boring! They are available in numerous styles, colours and fabrics. Our Certified Compression Fitters at ADAPT Home Health Care will work with you to understand what your needs are and what types of socks best suit your lifestyle! Let us help you feel safe, independent and stylish all at once!

Do I need to wear compression while I travel?
Blood clots can sometimes form in your legs because you are immobile for long periods of time, sitting in cramped spaces with little leg room. It is extremely important to take precautionary measures by wearing compression stockings if you are flying or sitting on a plane for long periods of time.
When flying, the force of gravity pools on the blood and fluid in the legs causing swelling in the legs and feet! This can often get very uncomfortable and even cause pain. It is highly recommended to wear compression stockings to help promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of clots and further complications. You will arrive at your destination in peace and comfort!
It’s a small investment to make when planning for your trip so you can finally enjoy that well-deserved vacation and not have to worry about seeking additional medical attention in a foreign territory. Our Certified Compression Fitters will help assess what level of compression you may need based on your risk factors and current conditions.
Would compression stockings help me if I am sitting all day?
Compression stockings are very important if you are sitting and not as active. Immobility often increases the risk of clots in the legs which can result in DVT. By protecting your feet and promoting blood circulation, you will reduce swelling and ultimately help you feel energized when it’s time to get moving on your feet!
For more than a year now, people have been more sedentary due to the lack of activity, gym closures and work from home mandates. Now more than ever is when you need to make sure you are wearing compression stockings to maintain the integrity of your legs and promote their well being!
Wearing compression stockings during long periods of sitting helps suppress pain, fatigue and swelling in the lower limbs. Most private insurance plans offer coverage for compression stockings because they recognize the benefits it can have in your life. Our Certified Compression Fitters will go the extra mile to help you determine what your insurance coverage is.

Why should pregnant women wear compression stockings?
During pregnancy, your body goes through a lot of different hormonal changes. Increased demands on your body can lead to swelling of your extremities (ankles, legs & feet), making you feel tired and uncomfortable. There is an increased development of varicose veins and heavy legs.
Compression stockings in pregnancy are essential to help promote the safety and comfort for the expecting mom and growing baby! Our Certified Compression Fitters will be able to help measure you and then provide you with suitable options. There are many different styles and colours that you can choose from including maternity specific compression garments that have high elasticity to provide support to the growing baby.
If you choose not to wear compression stockings throughout your pregnancy, then you will be at an increased risk of clots, swelling in the legs, pain and reduced blood circulation. Compression stockings will provide additional support and provide the circulation of blood and fluids while reducing leg and ankle swelling, ultimately keeping you more comfortable!
How do I measure my legs for compression stockings?
We highly recommend getting fitted by a Certified Compression Fitter. These trained individuals have gone through formalized training and courses to help understand how to assess and approach a compression fitting.
It can be quite harmful if compression stockings do not fit correctly. If compression socks fit too tight then you increase the risk of cutting off your blood circulation. If they don’t fit well or are loose then you won’t receive the maximum benefit that the compression socks are meant to serve!
All of our bodies are unique and there are compression options that might be better for you depending on your lifestyle and preferences. Once the appropriate measurements are taken, our Certified Compression Fitter will go through a product selection process with you and provide the best recommendations based on your needs!

The most common complaint that we hear when it comes to compression stockings is the challenge that some people have with getting them on! Velcro compression wraps are a great alternative to traditional compression socks and stockings.
They are highly recommended if your swelling level is actively changing. Velcro compression wraps allow one to make them tighter or looser and change the amount of pressure being applied by the wrap depending on the level of swelling. They are also helpful for someone with reduced dexterity and if they have trouble pulling up compression socks.
Velcro compression wraps can be made to custom fit your legs depending on the degree of severity of swelling. They come with additional liners for infection control and our trained Certified Compression Fitters will provide you with aftercare instructions to help maintain the elasticity and get the most out of your velcro compression wraps!
Graduated compression stockings are really beneficial if you are active and trying to enhance your athletic performance. Through the promotion of blood circulation, compression socks actually help increase oxygen delivery to the various tissues and muscles throughout the body which helps with muscle recovery and reduction of fatigue.
Athletes also notice a benefit in cramp and pain reduction if they participate in a lot of high impact activities including running and jumping. They will reduce the pressure you put on your joints while decreasing the effort your legs need to put in.
Sport compression socks that are ideal for athletes because they are made with breathable material that also helps minimize odor and sweat reduction. They also come in a variety of funky colours to help fit in with your gym attire! It is important to be measured by a Certified Fitter to ensure that the compression socks fit correctly and don’t cut off your circulation through activity.
