DVT is a blood clot found in the lower limbs. Places where mobility is restricted such as as a hospital bed, in the work place, and during travel increase the risk for developing DVT. Movement is one way to reduce risk for DVT, and those who can withstand higher impact activity should do so—because anyone can be at risk for developing DVT and its complications.

With proper risk assesment and treament, you can greatly reduce your risk of DVT. To learn more talk to your doctor or visit: www.Preventdvt.org.
