Body Support
Body support devices are used to treat physical injuries, illnesses, or disabilities by supporting the body in a way that reduces pain and prevents further injury.

There are many different types of body support that work for different parts of the body. The most common are knee-high compression socks which provide lower leg muscle relief.
