Can I wear Restore post-delivery?
SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings are recommended for new mothers and should be put on as soon as possible after birth and worn for as many hours a day as comfortable for the first 12 weeks postpartum to assist with fast tracking recovery after pregnancy by treating Abdominal Muscle Separation (DRAM), Perineal Tears and stitches, C-Section wounds, Sciatica and Low Back Pain. The SRC Recovery product will assist mobility and make looking after your baby easier, as well as with any stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during this initial 12-week period.
If you experience light SUI or mild uterine or bladder prolapse after this 12-week period, we recommend you a see a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist to check whether you have DRAM. If DRAM is still present, we recommend you continue to wear the Recovery Shorts or Leggings until it has healed fully. Once the abdominal muscle separation is no longer present but you continue to experiencing issues with SUI and prolapse then we recommend you transition to the SRC Restore Uterine Prolapse & Continence Treatment garment.
What type of fabric is used to make Restore?
Shell 75% Polyamide 25% Elastane
Lining 80% Polyamide 20 Elastane

Can I get a Health Fund rebate?

How do you Wear SRC Compression Sock for Women?
Make sure to even out your compression socks for pregnancy / compression socks for nurses or any other taxing jobs for your legs, so they are flat against your skin to avoid bunching. Make sure you have the right size and don't fold or roll your compression socks down, because this can make them too tight and cause blood circulation problems.
Pregnancy compression socks can help reduce discomfort in your feet, ankles and legs, and assist your circulation to be more comfortable when you are on your feet for long periods of time.
How do I know my compression socks are the right fit?
Just like with the SRC Pregnancy or Recovery compression garments the pressure of your compression socks should be firm but not too tight. You should feel comfortable and supported. They also should not be painful or too difficult to put on. Correct fit is critical for providing effective support to prevent swelling, improve blood circulation and relief from discomfort.
What is the level of compression in the SRC Compression Socks for Women?
There are different levels of compression available, from light (which is the range used in our shorts and leggings) to firm. Pregnant women and professionals like nurses who spend so much time on their feet can benefit from a medium to firm level of compression of 20-30mmHg which is the level of compression in our socks.
When should you wear SRC Compression Socks for Pregnancy or Support?
If you don’t have swelling or varicose veins, it maybe beneficial to wear your compression socks if you know you’re going to be spending lots of time on your feet a lot exercising, working or when flying or driving as it’s difficult to move around during these times and the risk of circulation problems increases.
Putting on compression socks for pregnancy at the beginning of the day can prevent swelling and will be more effective than putting them on after swelling is already there later in the day.
Athletes may wear the SRC Compression Socks For Recovery during sleep, as well as during exercise.
Depending on the recommendations of your doctor you may need to wear the SRC compression socks at night after surgery or a specialist procedure where compression socks maybe prescribed for recovery.
