Precaution only: Just keep moving your legs even now and then, flex your foot up and down, just little things, and you'll be fine.

DVT and travel.: One of the causes of DVT is venous stasis and this is due to prolonged immobility as can occur with long drives or flights. So a 20 hour road trip could potentially increase your risk of developing a DVT. Stopping every 2 to 3 hours to get up and walk and wearing support hose during the trip would also help to mitigate the chances of developing a DVT.
