A device and method for stimulating blood flow velocity in a leg of the body for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis in an effective and relatively painless manner which, in one case, includes an apparatus for compressing a foot in a manner to drive a substantial amount of blood from veins of the foot therein into blood vessels of the leg and an apparatus operably associated with the compressing apparatus for electrically stimulating leg muscles as the driven blood from the foot passes therethrough such that the muscles drivingly enhance blood flow velocity.
