IT IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE TO LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, BE PART OF A CHORUS OR TO DANCE. It is important to incentivate participation in different kind of art activities: like I mentionned music is one. Painting, sculpting, learning to dance different rhythms are others.
When you have severe hemophilia A or B, when you aren’t on prophylaxis, practising sports may not be an option at all. So, the rest of your self is active, available to enjoy, your MIND is everything. In your imagination you can visualize and with your body that has to rest or isn’t
