How To Put on Compression Stockings Easily- By a Lymphedema Physical Therapist

Putting on or Donning Compression Stockings can be very challenging. They are a STRUGGLE to put on like a normal sock. So In this video, I share how to correctly and easily put compression stockings on. If that still doesn't work, I also show various tools and donning aids to help get compression socks on.
Stockings are still too difficult to get on despite all of these options:? Don't worry! I share a completely different option available for compression.
