Ordered my first pairs of compression socks today. Doctor said they are helpful for recovery because they enhance blood flow (not sure the science on this) but will give them a try. Got the 2XU brand for recovery.
On a blood thinner treatment currently to get rid of vericose vein mass and blood clot from back in the day. The treatment is fairly amazing having reduced the mass in a week by about 30%. Doc says compression socks would speed that up considerably.
On a different note part of the treatment involves massage in the area of the clot and the varicose. I go ahead and do full body and had a very very interesting experience. At the end of the massage the lady puts her hands on the stomach and pushes in a pulsing way for about 10 minutes. I was thinking to myself this is crazy why would she do this...it was at a real chinese medicine facility so there had to be some logic to it. Well over the next 24 hours I urinated so much it was frigging insane. I attest it had to be in the 2-gallon range of lost water retention.
i know a lot of you lifters like to get the BF down and this might be interesting to try. i will get the name of the technique and make a thread after Friday when I go again.
