PRP and ACP Max: The New Generation of Injections for Joint and Tendon Pain
10/09/2026 | 26 mins.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses a small sample of your own blood to encourage the body to repair injured joints and tendons. In this episode, Complete Physio Clinical Director Chris Myers sits down with Sports Medicine Consultant Dr George Bownes to explain how PRP actually works, what it can treat, and the newer high-concentration ACP Max approach.

They cover knee and hip osteoarthritis, stubborn tendon problems like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow and Achilles, how long the results tend to last, what a treatment involves in clinic, and how PRP compares to a steroid injection.
