Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As mentioned you have DVT and on medication but still the pain has not come down I will advice to undergo physical therapy.

As physical therapy is a non-invasive process and will help you to improve the metabolism and strengthening of the muscles which will help reduce the compression due to DVT.

Also by use of physical modalities the physical therapy may give you instant pain relief.

I see patients with DVT in my daily clinical practice and with the combination of medication and physical therapy they respond well.
