SIGVARIS demonstrates “controlled efficacy" with its graduated compression golf socks!

SIGVARIS collaborates with local golfers at Horseshoe Bend Country Club to demonstrate relief of soreness and swelling with the use of its graduated compression socks on the golf course.
 
Feb. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA: SIGVARIS, the global leader of graduated compression garments, recently wrapped up a golf-trial involving graduated compression socks and its effect on golfers when used during an 18-hole golf round.

Three dozen golfers, both men and women, were evaluated before trying the graduated compression socks. After an 18-hole golf round, wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression golf socks, they were again surveyed with some remarkable findings. Some 86% (31 of 36) of the golfers, ranging from merely recreational to head-pro level, responded that their legs and/or ankles felt LESS tired and aching at the end of the golf round when wearing the SIGVARIS graduated compression golf sock.

When the group was asked prior to the test-round about their legs and/or ankles being swollen at the end of a regular golf day, less than 1 in 4 responded that they experienced leg swelling when golfing. However, after wearing the graduated compression socks, 50% (or 18 of the 36 golfers) responded that their legs and/or ankles appeared LESS swollen at the end of the golf round when wearing the SIGVARIS compression golf socks.

“I am a golf-pro, on my feet ten plus hours a day. The SIGVARIS compression golf socks provide great support and relief – They are awesome!”, said Andreas Boberg, Head Golf-Pro at Horseshoe Bend Country Club.

An impressive 94% of the test-golfers (34 of 36, with one answering “Maybe, and one saying “No”) said they would recommend the SIGVARIS Compression Golf Socks to their fellow golfers and colleagues.
