There was a time when people with bleeding disorders were discouraged from participating in sports and physical activities. But not anymore. With treatment options so widely available, children and adults with bleeding disorders are encouraged to keep moving.

Ask your doctor or physical therapist to help develop an exercise routine that is appropriate for you.2
