A different way to support recovery!

PRP isn't about replacing physiotherapy or offering a quick fix.

For the right condition, it can become part of a wider recovery plan designed around your goals, not just your symptoms.

The most important question isn't whether PRP works-it's whether it's the right option for your injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood containing a higher concentration of platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that may help support the body's natural healing process.

A small sample of your blood is collected and processed using a specialised PRP system. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then prepared for injection into the affected area.

The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, where it spins at a controlled speed. This separates the blood into different layers, allowing the platelet-rich plasma to be carefully collected for treatment.

Platelets naturally contain growth factors and proteins that play a role in tissue repair and healing. Concentrating these platelets allows them to be delivered directly to the area being treated.

Yes. PRP is prepared entirely from your own blood, making it an autologous treatment with a low risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Preparing PRP usually takes around 10–20 minutes before the injection is performed.

Once prepared, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the affected joint, tendon, ligament, or soft tissue using a clinically guided technique.

PRP may not be suitable for every condition or every patient. Your clinician will assess your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether PRP is the most appropriate option.
