How to take off the compression stocking?

To remove your compression stocking, follow the same steps as putting it on. Slide the sock over the foot and pull it up to the ankle or calf. Use rubber gloves to keep them from getting tangled or caught on things, like jewelry.

Running compression stockings do not improve your performance during an exercise session, but they can decrease muscle damage markers like myoglobin and creatine kinase that are associated with injury or fatigue. They do, however, increase blood flow in the veins of the legs, which may provide additional support for tired muscles.
