Treatment of haemophilia patients with inhibitors against factor VIII/IX (FVIII/IX) is still challenging and recurrent haemarthroses cause arthropathy with associated restrictions on participation in physical activities and sports. Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach which includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, social work and technical applications like prostheses, orthoses (splints and braces), shoe adaptations, walking aids and adaptations in the house and work situation, but also education. The theoretical principles and practical advice regarding rehabilitation and physiotherapy for both children and adults with haemophilia without inhibitors are highly applicable for patients with inhibitors. Hydrotherapy is useful in the treatment of painful or stiff joints and/or muscles after an acute haemarthrosis, muscle bleeds and chronic arthropathy. In addition, it is of use in cases of chronic synovitis and to start mobilization after long periods of bed rest or during the weaning of a splint. In cases of bleeding and arthropathy, adequate treatment of pain is very important, as are functional exercises. Everyone should be physically active for 30-60 min day(-1). Participation in sports is recommended for people with haemophilia, the best sport being swimming. Children should participate in sports appropriate to their size and physical characteristics.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation aim to evaluate, diagnose and treat disability in haemophiliac patients, while preventing injury or deterioration. They also aim to maintain the greatest degree of functional capacity and independence in patients with haemophilia, or to return them to that state. Rehabilitation, together with clotting factor replacement therapy, has revolutionized the management of these patients in developed countries and reduced their morbidity/mortality rates. A knowledge of the musculoskeletal signs and symptoms of haemophilia is essential for providing a treatment which is suitable and customized. Physical medicine and rehabilitation techniques, which are based on physical means, are intended to reduce the impact which these injuries and their consequences or sequelae can have on the quality of life of patients with haemophilia. Under ideal haemostatic control conditions (primary prophylaxis), people with haemophilia could achieve good physical condition which will allow them to enjoy both physical activity and a daily life without limitations. Currently, children undergoing primary prophylaxis are quite close to this ideal situation. For these physical activities to be carried out, the safest possible situations must be sought.
