Do You Have a Chronic Tear? | Featuring IFBB Pro Regan Grimes | A Definitive Guide to PRP

About this video

Dr. Adeel Khan, a regenerative-medicine physician, demonstrates platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for IFBB Pro Regan Grimes’s full-thickness pectoralis major tear. Dr. Khan explains that PRP quality varies significantly, and he argues that proper treatment requires platelet measurement, specialized formulations like CytoRich PRP, precise image-guided injection technique, and sometimes scaffolding materials like hyaluronic acid. He describes how spinning blood in a centrifuge at specific frequencies and RPMs separates plasma and modifies its composition, and emphasizes measuring cytokine profiles to ensure anti-inflammatory effects for chronic conditions.

Key takeaways

• Not all PRP is equal—Dr. Khan argues that qualified clinics should measure platelet counts and cytokine profiles to know exactly what is being injected
• Image-guided injection (ultrasound or X-ray) is essential for precise targeting; he describes haphazard injection as ineffective
• For full-thickness tears, Dr. Khan uses a two-step process: injecting a scaffold (hyaluronic acid/collagen) first, then seeding it with PRP to hold it in place
• Dr. Khan describes recovery as relatively quick—he states training can resume within 2–3 weeks with proper coordination, unlike invasive surgery
• Dr. Khan advises choosing a doctor who specializes regularly in PRP, not one who performs it occasionally alongside other primary practices
