After the: Acute illness any exercise is probably ok. Vigorous exercise is not recommended early for the concern of dislodging clot with resulting pulmonary embolus.

Any type: Activity is great for DVT patients, and may help with leg swelling. The only thing to avoid is anything that could cause contact or a severe fall that could cause bleeding while you are anticoagulated.
