Preventive Compression Therapy
We have the right stockings for you — no matter your lifestyle.
- The compression level of OTC stockings is 15-20 mmHg.
- Any compression therapy garment above 30 mmHg requires a prescription from a health professional.
Important!
Make sure to replace your compression stockings every four to six months to guarantee the proper compression strength.
If they start feeling loose, it’s time for a new pair.

How to maintain compression garments.
Follow these recommendations to keep your compression garments in good shape:
- Hand wash (or machine wash on delicate) in warm water daily to maximize therapeutic effectiveness and prolong the life of your garment.
- Use a small portion of special compression garment washing detergent or another mild soap.
- Rinse garment well, roll in a towel to remove excess water, hang to dry.
- Wash dark colours separately from other clothing.
- Juzo garments may be machined wash and dry; use the lowest permanent press settings.
- When using washing machine, a garment bag is strongly recommended.
- Do not use bleach, chlorine, fabric softeners, or other laundry additives. These may damage your garment.
- Store your stockings in a dry place at room temperature.

Testimonials
Wow! Thank you so much for the compression socks! I love the colour and it fits so well…just the right tightness!
The staff is extraordinarily helpful and kind. Either for fitting the product or explaining all the features of the product you may need. Very professional and respectful for fitting!! They shipped for us the same day a glove we needed!! I hope I don’t misspell her name but Mikaela showed us what a best in class customer service is. More Physiotherapists should send their patients here. You visit this kind of stores when you are not at your best, after surgery or recovering from an injury and this team treats you -or your beloved one- in a way that is so professional; taking the time to fully listen and help you, like everything stops only to be present with you and help you. You can immediately perceive when people there have true vocation and love for what they do. Thanks a lot!
I am here regularly for compression sleeves. Patricia and all the team are fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and always super helpful. Highly recommend their services
Everything you need in one place! The store is very expansive and the staff were super helpful and friendly to find everything I needed. Even got my compression socks here too!
Just wanted to share my experience as an RMT using the Cure Tape products for lymphatic drainage. Following a lymph taping course, I used cure tape on my own knee which was preventing my return to full time practice because 4 months after being hit by a car, I was still having issues standing or walking over 30 mins without pain. I was very impressed with how the Cure Tape helped drain the edema after a few days and allowed me to return back to practice faster! Thanks very much to Mikaela M for setting me up with this product! 🙌 Highly recommend!
