SIGVARIS' Graduated Compression Socks Keep World Famous Soccer Player, Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima in the Game
SIGVARIS is a proud manufacturer of the "famous socks" that have kept Soccer Star Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima in the game by improving circulation and alleviating pain!
- (1888PressRelease) December 09, 2010 - PEACHTREE CITY, GA. - SIGVARIS, the global leader of graduated compression garments and committed DVT prevention advocate, is proud to announce that superstar soccer player Ronaldo from Brazil has discovered the benefits of wearing SIGVARIS graduated compression socks during and after soccer games.
Ronaldo, who suffered from a left calf injury, finds the socks to be a crucial part of his team uniform. Ronaldo was diagnosed with a venous insufficiency problem in his left calf that could have ended his career. However, the doctor recommended SIGVARIS socks to help alleviate pain in the calf region allowing him to play.
Ronaldo, who has been named a FIFA Player of the Year three times, is not the only athlete that knows firsthand the benefits of wearing true graduated compression. Many professional athletes worldwide are using compression stockings during and after performance events to improve their results.
By compressing the leg and calf with graduated external pressure, blood flow in the veins is improved, which increases circulation and oxygen to the muscle tissue. This helps to flush out the lactic acids built up in the legs during exercise, relieving tired, aching legs and exercise-induced muscle soreness.
Endorsers of SIGVARIS' Active Therapy Socks include Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons running back), Joseph Addai (Indianapolis Colts running back), David O'Meara (The One Mile Runner) and LPGA's Brittany Lincicome.
SIGVARIS, through the Athletic Recovery line of socks, has established partnerships with established sports organizations in North America, including Road Runner's Club of America (RRCA), USProTri, Southern Crescent Cycling Club and Cross Country Canada (CCC-skiing). SIGVARIS is supplying socks to the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts NFL football teams for practice, recovery and travel for the 2010 and 2011 football seasons. New Jersey NETS basketball is the latest addition to SIGVARIS' sports partnerships.
SIGVARIS created www.activetherapysock.com to provide consumers with information about all the socks in the active therapy line. In addition to the Active Therapy Line, SIGVARIS manufactures an entire line of medical and support products designed for those with venous disorders, expecting mother's, those that travel, those at risk for DVT, and to help those that work in occupations where they stand or sit for long periods of time find relief from tired, achy legs.
