Should You Get PRP?

August 6, 2025

So, if you actually look into PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, it's interesting in the sense that you'll find that getting this content from blood or from a person who has just done exercise is more effective than when it's taken from the blood of someone who hasn't just done exercise. 

Meaning, like, when you exercise, when you train, when you do something, you're going to produce more of that in your blood. And so another aspect of that is the actual platelets are produced from the bone marrow, right? And so, if we can stimulate the bone marrow, that means that we're going to be able to produce more of those. And so what I was thinking about when I was looking at this was like, okay, so we can basically produce our own PRP.

It's not going to be as concentrated, but we can produce the constituents that are in PRP. And if we stimulate the bone, then we can potentially produce even more of that right and so my thought process was like in this study that I found or several studies I don't remember exactly it was a little while ago but I was looking at PRP being generated better when they were exercising.

I'm imagining that the exercising that was done is probably something like you know simple walking, jogging, or like three sets of 10 or whatever if we take the if we take what we do and we look at something like impulses we're applying very high amounts of force into the bone and we're stimulating that we can essentially create our own PRP, right?

 Like your body is a PRP production site. Again, it's not as concentrated. But we can produce those constituents to then help your body heal, right? And that's actually what movement, that's actually what training does. If we do it well, if we do it at a level that you're prepared for and that you can recover from, we can actually produce those same constituents. And my argument is basically like, we can do that instead of needing to go get the PRP.
