Physiotherapy in Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Safe Recovery & Circulation Bo...

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. It can cause swelling, pain, warmth, and redness. While medical management with anticoagulants is primary, physiotherapy plays a key role in recovery and prevention of complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome.

Dr. Deepika Bansal, serving patients across Balewadi, Aundh, Wakad, and Pimple Saudagar, offers gentle and evidence-based physiotherapy support post-DVT, under medical clearance.

Physiotherapy approach includes:

• Graduated movement and mobility training to prevent stiffness and promote venous return
• Ankle pumps, leg lifts, and active range-of-motion exercises to improve circulation
• Guidance on compression stocking use for swelling control
• Breathing exercises to support cardiovascular health and reduce clot risk
• Education on posture, hydration, and safe activity levels

Important: Physiotherapy in DVT should always begin after physician clearance to ensure clot stability and avoid complications.

If you're recovering from DVT or seeking help with safe movement post-diagnosis, trust Dr. Deepika Bansal—your expert physiotherapist near you—for personalized care that prioritizes your safety and recovery.
