Regular exercise can build strong muscles and help prevent joint problems. People with hemophilia can exercise safely, although they should avoid contact sports. Physical therapy may also play an important role in reducing joint problems caused by repeated bleeding in those areas. Your physical therapist may recommend the following exercises:· Stretching
· Movement exercises
· Resistance training (such as weight lifting)
You should also work with your primary care physician and specialists to create a program that works the best for your needs.
Activity typically recommended for hemophilia clients:
- · Bicycling
- · Fishing
- · Frisbee
- · Elliptical machines
- · Swimming
- · Archery
- · Golf
- · Hiking
- · Snorkeling
- · Stationary Bicycle
