After a DVT, many patients are afraid to move. Here’s what we tell them. In the latest ESVS Podcast, Dr. Marie Josee Van Rijn (vascular surgeon, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands) explains why early mobilisation and exercise after deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are not only safe, but they can also support recovery and help reduce long-term complications like post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Practical takeaways from the episode: - Start simple: walking is accessible, can be done anywhere, and helps patients build confidence - Pair movement with compression therapy when appropriate - Focus on consistency: doing something regularly matters more than doing something “perfect” 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, or the ESVS library open.spotify.com/show/4Ciebf…
