Tression

Tression has revolutionized compression therapy by creating the world’s first modern compression apparel, merging medical-grade compression (20-30 mmHg) with enhanced comfort and style. Designed as premium everyday wear, our collection includes business-casual compression pants and athleisure leggings, offering functional benefits to women experiencing tired and aching legs due to a stationary lifestyle or health condition. Unlike traditional compression hosiery, Tression’s innovative approach aims to improve the current 80% non-compliance with compression therapy by offering fashionable and comfortable alternatives.
