Keeping active and staying protected

Living with haemophilia can affect how you feel about being active. You may be managing pain, joint problems, previous bleeds or uncertainty about trying something new.

These are individual experiences. People living with haemophilia should speak to their doctor, nurse, pharmacist or haemophilia care team before making changes to their physical activity or treatment routine.

‘Mountains We Carry; Mountains We Climb’ shares the uplifting journey of people from all parts of the haemophilia community, as they come together to take on Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in the Alps.

This inspiring expedition is an important reminder to us that, with the support of others, it is possible to take steps towards personal goals, no matter how big or small.

Living with haemophilia can lead to bleeds and joint pain which may affect your daily life. Managing joint pain and reducing the risk of bleeds could help you feel better and enjoy life with fewer restrictions.

Whether it is playing sports with friends, dancing the night away at a concert, hiking or doing everyday activities like walking the dog without concern, these are actions which, for many, can be achieved without being compromised by haemophilia. Understanding how to improve your protection from bleeds and engage in more meaningful conversations with your doctor may help you identify personal goals.
