Lunatik Athletiks' Perspective on Compression Socks

LNTK Compression Socks
It's seems Compression sportswear is the latest craze for runners, triathletes and other endurance sports. Not only does it look cool, it provides an additional "layer" of fashion to show off your style, but recently, there's been a lot of evidence pointing in favor of the benefits of compression wear.

Compression garments for hips, thighs, arms, legs and even your face have been around in the medical field for many decades now; mostly used in post-surgery for support and increased blood circulation. It was later adapted for the sports industry for similar reasons as well as improved and faster recovery (to be fit to train again, quicker!)
Simply put, compression wear does just that - it's a tight fitting garment that when worn properly, keeps your skin tightly pressed against the muscles and provides a "second skin" for warmth, which is the ideal environment for muscles to repair and heal. Improved circulation means your body can get rid of harmful fluids such as lactic acid faster. 

Here are some additional benefits of compression sportswear:
•    Improves athletic performance and endurance by reducing muscle vibration.
•    Graduated compression reduces the build up of lactic acid, helps the muscle recover faster.
•    Provides relief from feeling tired and aching legs.
•    Improves blood circulation.
•    Prevents injuries.
•    Elastic top band adjusts to fit leg perfectly without slipping or constricting. (Compression Socks)
•    Special weaving texture protects tibia. (Compression Socks)


Our medical graduated compression stockings are manufactured in conformity with ISO 9001, ISO13485, CE, FDA and GMP graded facilities with recognizable quality assurance certificates and seals.  

We're super excited at Lunatik Athletiks to be carrying a line of branded compression wear. We've done extensive research on materials and brought in some top notch designs to allow our athletes to make a fashion statement while staying fit!
