EXERCISES CAN HELP IN MANAGING DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which blood clots form in the deep veins of the legs, pelvis, or arms. DVT can be a serious condition, as the blood clots can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. In addition to medical treatments, exercise can be an important part of managing DVT.
