Wales’ Only nSTRIDE® Injection Clinic – A New Era in Sports Medicine
At Pro Sports Medicine, we are proud to be the only clinic in Wales offering nSTRIDE® Autologous Protein Solution (APS) injections — an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce knee pain and restore performance.
This isn’t just another injection.
It’s part of a sports medicine-led approach to injury recovery, used to help athletes and active individuals return to high-level function — not just temporary relief.
What is nSTRIDE® APS?
nSTRIDE® is a next-generation regenerative medicine injection that uses proteins from your own blood to target the underlying causes of knee osteoarthritis.
Unlike traditional treatments that simply mask pain, nSTRIDE® works by:
Concentrating anti-inflammatory proteins
Blocking damaging inflammatory processes in the joint
Supporting cartilage health and joint function
These “good proteins” help rebalance the knee environment and reduce inflammation at source.
Why nSTRIDE® is Different to PRP and Steroid Injections
Most patients are offered:
Physiotherapy
Steroid injections
Or are told to “wait” for surgery
But there is a significant treatment gap.
nSTRIDE® sits in that gap.
It is:
More advanced than PRP (higher concentration of anti-inflammatory proteins)
Longer lasting than steroid injections
A single injection treatment (not multiple sessions)
Clinical studies have shown up to 70% improvement in knee pain at 2 years following treatment.
A Sports Medicine Approach – Not Just an Injection
At Pro Sports Medicine, nSTRIDE® is not used in isolation.
It forms part of our: Return-to-Performance System
Because reducing pain is not the end goal — performance is.
Your pathway includes:
1. Specialist Diagnosis
A detailed sports medicine assessment to identify the true cause of your symptoms
2. Targeted Treatment
nSTRIDE® injection delivered with ultrasound guidance for precision
3. Performance Rehabilitation
Structured physiotherapy to rebuild strength and load tolerance
4. Return to Activity
Progressive return to sport, training, or daily performance
This is the key difference: We don’t just treat joints — we rebuild performance.
Who is nSTRIDE® Suitable For?
nSTRIDE® is ideal for:
Mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
Ongoing knee pain affecting activity or sport
Patients trying to avoid or delay surgery
Individuals not responding to physiotherapy alone
It is particularly valuable for:
Active individuals
Runners and gym users
Athletes wanting to maintain performance
How Long Do Results Last?
Clinical evidence suggests:
Pain relief can begin within weeks
Significant improvement develops over 4–12 weeks
Benefits can last 24–36 months or longer
Some patients report continued improvement beyond this timeframe.
