DVT?PE/Massage: I assume that you meant 3-1-17 not 18. The recommended treatment for DVT with PE is one year and you are close to that. I would repeat the venous ultrasound to see the status of the DVT. If the clot is stable, recanalized or dissolved then I do not see any contraindication to having a massage.
