Unfortunately, this is a risk because sitting for a long time while traveling by plane, car, train, or bus can put a real strain on your legs.  Travel times of over four hours are a struggle for your veins, and now that long-distance trips are increasingly more frequent these days, it’s important to take preventative measures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFortunately, compression stockings for travel can help reduce swelling in the legs and improve blood flow.  Traveling usually means sitting in a confined space with little movement, accompanied by water loss due to the low cabin pressure and low humidity in planes.  This is a challenge for your veins, since such conditions can slow down the blood flow and lead to circulation problems, blood clots, and deep vein thrombosis  (DVT).  This can quickly become a serious danger to your health: If left untreated, it can in some cases lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), a heart attack, or a stroke.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf you know you will be traveling for a long time, you should get yourself a pair of compression stockings for travel, such as JOBST Travel Socks .  If you want to arrive at your destination feeling healthy and refreshed, then compression stockings are one of the best ways to help prevent blood clots from traveling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"acc-accordion__headline js-acc-trigger\"\u003eRisk factors of developing venous thrombosis from traveling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-accordion__body rte-text\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily history of blood clots (e.g.  DVT or PE pulmonary embolism)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience of blood clots in the past\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecent surgery or hospitalization (blood clots after surgery are not uncommon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of birth control pills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrently or recently pregnant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaricose veins \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObesity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited movement for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes Available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 1 18-21cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 2 20-23cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 3 22-25cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 4 24-27cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 5 26-29cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"rte-2col l-container l-fixed-margin--giga-y\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"l-row l-row--vertical-gutter-small\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"l-col--6\/12@md\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Yes Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50103735484728,"sku":"78844-07-G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/8801\/8488\/files\/jobst_travel_socks_medical_compression_stockings.jpg?v=1745414389","url":"https:\/\/suppliers.bettercaremarket.com.au\/products\/jobst-travel-socks-medical-compression-stockings","provider":"bettercaremarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
