1. A compression device for applying controllable compression to a leg and a foot of a user, comprising:
a first sock having a leg portion and a foot portion, the first sock comprising:
a plurality of first memory wires extending around the leg portion of the first sock; and
a plurality of second memory wires extending around the foot portion of the first sock;
a second sock configured to be arranged inside the first sock, the second sock including a plurality of compression pads affixed to the second sock, each of said plurality of compression pads assigned to and aligned with only one corresponding memory wire of the plurality of first memory wires and the plurality of second memory; and
a controller configured to selectively apply current to the plurality of first memory wires and the plurality of second memory wires to contract plurality of first memory wires and the plurality of second memory wires and thereby apply pressure to the leg and foot of the user, wherein the controller includes a circuit board and a microcontroller mounted to the circuit board, the microcontroller programmed to actuate the plurality of first memory wires and the plurality of second memory wires according to a compression protocol stored in a memory associated with the microcontroller.
