Talking Honestly About Movement, Joints and Mental Health

Ross, Josh and Alex are three young men living with haemophilia. In this 20-minute film, they sit down with Consultant Physiotherapist in Bleeding Disorders, Paul McLaughlin to talk frankly about life, joints, mental health, and the power of movement.

It’s a real, honest conversation. They share what it’s like to grow up being told to be careful, how they’ve faced challenges like bleeds and setbacks, and how physical activity has helped them feel more in control. They also talk about the big moments — like taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the Fan Dance — and the everyday routines that keep them going.

Whether you’re just starting out or already on your own physical activity journey, this podcast is a powerful reminder: your condition doesn’t define you — your goals do.
