For years, hemophilia care focused on strict activity restriction. Today, we know inactivity accelerates joint damage.

🔹 Sync workouts with peak factor levels post-infusion.
🔹 Prioritize low-impact sports (swimming, cycling) over contact sports.
🔹 Collaborate with PTs to customize programs based on joint health.
🔹 Teach patients to differentiate workout soreness from active bleeds.
