Yes: Once you are treated, still you can work out. Usually, exercises are not advisable immediately within 24 hours of DVT treatment.

Probably.: But, this subject is not well studied and details could make a big difference. Some evidence suggests light activity (i.e., walking) is helpful. And, avoiding prolonged inactivity is actually a good idea. Beyond that, no one really knows. In general, my opinion would be to avoid vigorous exercise with DVT less than a few weeks old, but only your doctor knows the specifics of your problem.

DVT/EXERCISE: There are many locations for DVT. The smaller the vein usually the less significant and the faster it will improve. Most DVT is treated by a blood thinner and some is treated by ASA. Whether or not you should begin exercise with a DVT depends on the status of your anticoagulation and the location of your clot. Confirm this with your treating physician.
