Regenerative Therapies

Regenerative therapies include different products and claims, from platelet-rich plasma to cell and tissue-engineering approaches. Physiotherapists should separate symptom relief, structural change, and functional recovery; verify the exact product and local authorization; and build a measured loading plan. Biology may change healing conditions, but rehabilitation still rebuilds capacity and participation.

Questions for practice

• Which problem would this address, and what outcomes matter to the person receiving care?
• What evidence supports this application, population, and setting?
• What skills, safeguards, resources, and accountability would its use require?
• What would justify continuing, changing, or stopping its use?

This is an introductory overview of a domain in the PhysioFuturist model. Specific products and clinical uses need their own evidence assessment.
