In this video, I share my personal and professional journey with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy in Chennai, India— from the early days of adoption in 2010 to the highly advanced, evidence-based protocols we use today in my practice known as Madras Rejuvenation Centre.
PRP has come a long way over the last decade — from being a niche treatment used only by elite athletes to becoming a mainstream regenerative solution for joint pain, sports injuries, tendon problems and early arthritis. In this video, I explain how the technology, preparation methods, science and outcomes have transformed, making PRP one of the pillars of Orthobiologic medicine.
I also revisit one of my earliest YouTube videos from 2012 — PRP Injection for Tennis Elbow, which helped spread awareness at a time when few people in India were familiar with PRP. The evolution since then has been remarkable, and patients today benefit from more precise spinning protocols, ultrasound-guided delivery, leukocyte-controlled PRP formulations, and better patient selection.
