Nargis Fakhri reveals why she chose stem cell therapy

She shared that this wasn’t her first experience dealing with knee injuries. Nearly ten years ago, she received a similar diagnosis but decided against undergoing surgery back then. Nargis said, “About 10 years ago I had the same issue with my knees, meniscus tears on both knees and I actually did not want to get surgery, which was proposed to me many times. Instead I went the physio way and I strengthened my muscles but that took me a very long time. That took me maybe I would have to say years to be honest”.The actor mentioned that the availability of stem cell therapy played a key role in shaping her decision this time. “And this time stem cell is available now to everybody which is absolutely amazing. So I decided to contact Regen Ortho Sport and speak to Dr. Movva about it. He gave me the confidence and so I went with it and I’m just very happy that I did because from years of physio to now two and a half months feeling pretty good is a huge difference,” she added.
