The First 12 Weeks After Your Stem Cell Injections
The plan we give our own clients for the twelve weeks that decide most of the result — and what nobody tells you to do when the rest period ends.
- What to do in weeks 0–2, 2–6 and 6–12 — and what to leave alone
- The green / amber / red clearance page: what you are cleared to do right now
- The one mistake that turns a good procedure into a disappointing result

By joint
The timeline shifts depending on what was injected.
Recovery for the knee
The most common procedure and the most common question. Meniscus, arthritis, ligament.
Recovery for the hip
Walking, sleeping, golf. Phase timelines specific to the hip.
Recovery for the low back
Lumbar and SI. A different timeline to a limb, and the one people get most wrong.
Recovery for the shoulder
Rotator cuff and labrum. Restoring motion before load.
Second round of injections
How the timelines shift when it is not your first procedure.
Autoimmune considerations
How autoimmune conditions change healing timelines and flare-up risk.
By topic
The questions that come up whatever was injected and whenever it happened.
Managing flare-ups
25 posts, and the single biggest cause of a lost week. What a flare-up actually tells you about load.
Sleep & recovery
Why the hours you sleep do more for tissue remodelling than most of what you do awake.
Nutrition & protein
What the tissue needs to build with, and the daily protein number that keeps coming up.
Exercise recommendations
What is safe in each phase, and what to leave until you have earned it.
Common mistakes
The handful of decisions that cost people the most after a good procedure.
Watch

Before your next appointment, read page 6
Most people leave the clinic with a rest period and a date to come back. Nobody tells them what they are cleared to do in between — so they either sit still for twelve weeks or go straight back to the old routine and pay for it.
Page 6 is the green, amber and red clearance page. What you can do right now, what waits, and what to stop. Fifteen pages, and it costs nothing.
