Make Your Own PRP

Make Your Own PRP

Y’all realize when you go to get PRP, you’re getting something you can already generate, right?

Like you don’t need it from the needle dawg

I mean here’s the thought

You take a persons blood, put it through a centrifuge, that centrifuge helps separate the factors in the blood so the platelets and growth factors are more concentrated, inject that into the site of the injury and bang better healing

Cool

But what if…

You could do it yourself

While back i remember reading a study that said blood taken from a patient who had just exercised had “x” (don’t remember the exact amount) greater concentration of PRP and was more effective

And if you do some research on what increases the level of PRP, yeah exercise does that

Now take into account the fact they were probs walking on a treadmill or doing 3x10 squats with 25lbs in said study (for the “exercise”) and we can start to think

Bone marrow is where platelets and growth factors are primarily produced

Cool

So if we stimulate bone marrow, we stimulate the releases of greater numbers of platelets and growth factors

So then looking again at the study where PRP was increased with exercise

And considering the exercise they probs did

I mean i don’t think it was impulses or depth drops

Right, so what if we were to use exercises that specifically can go into the bone and stimulate the hell out of that

And support it with other moves like joint moves for hella blood flow

And dude it makes some level of logical sense we basically manufacture our own PRP and healing components through training

Cool part is already know this works

But it can help to be able to use some of the terminology to explain

Cause like i don’t think most people realize PRP is just taken from your own blood

And we can stimulate the release of the same factors through what we do
