While wearing a pair of flight socks is a great way to significantly reduce your risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis, the following suggestions can also assist you in keeping relatively DVT risk free during your travels.
Also keep in mind that the following precautionary measures can also be applied when you are not travelling by air.
- Keep well hydrated
- Avoid excessive stimulants
- Avoid excessive alcohol
- Keep an open space between your knees and the seat in front of you
- Take advantage of the footrest
- Do occasional walks every few hours
- Practice the In-flight exercises
- Wear graduated compression socks eg. Flight socks
- Don’t sit for extended periods of time
Overall the idea here is to get your blood circulating while also avoiding activities and substances that can actually prevent your blood circulation.
So if you do these things, and of course keep your flight socks on while flying, driving or sitting for extended periods of time, you should be in good shape from becoming another statistic, despite the risk factors you may or may not have.
