When you sit behind your desk without exercising for long periods of time your blood flow decreases and your blood thickens.  Large blood clots can develop when the blood flow in a vein is restricted or moves too slowly, causing chronic pain and swelling. A blood clot can break free and travel through your blood to major organs, where it can cause damage and even death, within hours. People who are seated for 4 hours or more, are overweight, who smoke, or who have a heart or blood disease are at increased risk.

How can you prevent DVT when sitting behind your desk?

The best way to prevent DVT is get up from behind that desk and move. Take short walks every half an hour and get the blood flowing again. The alternative is to exercise at your desk.

Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury of taking a break every half an hour and not everyone's office is big enough to quickly do a couple of star jumps.
