As we have discussed in previous blogs, sitting in a confined space for an extended period of time can cause Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The fourth of July is a popular holiday in the US, and many use this weekend as a time to visit friends and family. Unfortunately, sitting in traffic has become a staple of the holiday weekend as well.
If taking a long trip, please remember to stretch often. Sitting in one position for hours can put tremendous pressure on your legs and veins. Pulling off the road for a quick stop will help your venous system, as well as your sanity.
