Sometimes, after a long day of standing or sitting without much movement, your legs might feel "heavy" or "tingly."

For some people, though, the symptoms are more serious. Teachers, construction workers, bus drivers, nurses, hair stylists and others who spend a good portion of the day standing or sitting may find it interferes with their ability to be productive, according to Sigvaris.com.

Compression garments and orthopedic soft goods can improve circulation and make working much more comfortable. People with spider veins, varicose veins or who don't move much after surgery also benefit from compression.

Here's how it works, according to partnersforyourhealth.com:

The blood in your veins works against gravity to flow back to the heart. To combat this blood flow problem, veins contain many one-way valves, which permit blood to flow only toward the heart. By squeezing the leg tissues and walls of your veins, compression stockings can help blood return to the heart. The compression helps to push your blood from staying in the veins in your legs and feet.
