Made for athletes of all ages, active adults, and the pros who treat them
Get back to what you love
Whether you play on a team, run on weekends, or just want to stay active, an injury shouldn’t sideline you longer than it has to. RTP gives you another option alongside physical therapy.
Another tool for your clients
We’re not here to replace your program. We’re here to back it up. When a client plateaus, or a nagging joint issue threatens to shorten a season, RTP is another option to consider.
How RTP works
Our providers in Charlotte, NC inject stem cells and exosomes directly into the injured joint to support your body’s own repair process.
Stem cells
Specialized cells with regenerative properties. Ours come from umbilical cord and placental tissue, and they work by releasing exosomes, growth factors, and reparative proteins.
Exosomes
Tiny particles released by stem cells that carry growth factors, cytokines, and other healing factors. Your provider may use exosomes on their own or together with stem cells, depending on your injury.
Simpler than using your own stem cells
Some stem cell therapies require a separate procedure to harvest your own cells from bone marrow or fat, plus recovery time. RTP doesn’t. One 20-minute injection visit, no downtime.
Stem cell and exosome therapies are experimental and are not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
Is RTP right for my injury?
1. Where it hurts
RTP focuses on four joints. It doesn’t address the neck, back, or hips.
Areas we address
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Knee
- Ankle & foot
Common examples: rotator cuff and labral injuries, tennis and golfer’s elbow, ACL, MCL and meniscus injuries, ankle sprains, Achilles tendinopathy, and plantar fasciitis.
Areas we don’t address
- Neck
- Back
- Hips
2. New or chronic
Your provider decides the right plan for your injury at your consultation.
New injuries
Generally less than 6 weeks old
Strains, sprains, and tendon flare-ups, caught early to support your body’s own repair response without sidelining your season.
Chronic injuries
Pain that hasn’t resolved with rehab
Labral, rotator cuff, ACL, and meniscus problems, and other persistent joint pain that physical therapy and medications haven’t fixed.
