Your Comfort, Mobility and Independence Matter

Whether you're managing leg swelling, experiencing tired or aching legs, or require medical-grade compression therapy, Regency's trained compression specialists can help you find the right solution.
Best of all, professional fittings are available in the comfort of your own home, at a care facility, or at Regency's Burnaby store.
What Are Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply gentle, controlled pressure to the legs to support healthy blood circulation.
By helping blood flow more efficiently from the legs back toward the heart, compression therapy can improve comfort, reduce swelling, and help manage symptoms associated with certain circulatory conditions.
Benefits of Compression Therapy
Medical compression stockings can provide several important benefits.
- Improved circulation: Supports healthy venous blood flow and helps prevent blood from pooling in the legs.
- Reduced swelling: Helps manage fluid buildup (edema) in the feet, ankles, and legs.
- Relief from tired, aching legs: Helps alleviate sensations of heaviness, fatigue, and discomfort.
- Support for varicose veins: Can reduce swelling and discomfort associated with varicose veins and chronic venous conditions.
- Management of chronic swelling: Specialized compression garments can assist with conditions such as lymphedema when prescribed or recommended by a healthcare professional.
- Greater everyday comfort: Properly fitted compression garments can make daily activities more comfortable and support an active, independent lifestyle.
Whether you're spending long periods sitting, standing, or managing a medical condition, the right compression stockings can make a meaningful difference in your daily comfort.
Compression Solutions Tailored to Your Needs
Everyone's needs are different, and choosing the right compression garment is about more than simply finding the correct size.
Through our partnership with Regency Medical Supplies, clients can access a wide selection of off-the-shelf compression stockings and personalized compression fitting services, provided by trained compression specialists.
Regency offers products in a variety of compression levels, sizes, materials, and styles to accommodate different medical requirements, comfort preferences, and lifestyles.
From everyday compression stockings to more specialized medical compression solutions, Regency's team will help you understand your options and select a garment that fits comfortably and provides the appropriate support.
Why Professional Fitting Matters
Proper fit is essential to getting the most out of compression therapy.
Stockings that are too loose may not provide adequate support, while stockings that are too tight or improperly fitted can cause discomfort and potentially worsen certain medical conditions.
Regency's trained compression specialists provide personalized measurements and fitting assistance to help ensure your compression garments:
- Fit comfortably and securely
- Provide the intended level and distribution of compression
- Suit your mobility, lifestyle, and individual needs
- Are practical to put on, wear, and remove
The goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in your compression garments.
