It is known that immobility is one of the factors that may lead to the development of a blood clot in a deep vein â so-called âdeep vein thrombosisâ or DVT. Research has shown that DVT can occur as a result of prolonged immobility, for instance during long-distance travel, whether by car, bus, train or air.
