There's a patients who just had surgery and have to lie down for long periods are asked to wear TED stockings and are started on anticoagulant therapy. The same reason why passengers in long distance travels are advised to walk around intermittently if possible. What do they both have in common? DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS. Other risk factors for DVT are pregnancy and people living with cancer.
This video by @telehealther , which I particularly love for its detail and simplicity, gives us a clear picture of how DVT occurs. :
