A member asked:
Does indian head massage help someone who has deep vein thrombosis in their leg?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It feels good: Indian head massage feels good and might help reduce muscle tension in your head, neck and shoulders, but it isn't at all likely to do a thing for you in terms of helping with a deep vein thrombosis.

NO: The only treatment choices are anticoagulation or thrombolysis of the clot. Dvts are life threatening and must be taken very serious.
