A New Era in Athlete Recovery
A partnership between Sabah FC, a Malaysian football club, and European Wellness is starting a new chapter in sports medicine. This collaboration introduces bioregenerative medicine to the world of professional sports, a field pioneered by Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan.
This innovative approach, which began in Kota Kinabalu, is now gaining international attention, with an invitation to the Super Bowl.
The Sabah FC Initiative
In late 2025, Sabah FC became the first Malaysian club to adopt bioregenerative medicine. The goal is to help players recover faster and prevent injuries.
Sabah FC’s General Manager, Md Joh Wid, stated, “We want our players to come in good condition and leave in good condition.”
The 4-Step Bioregenerative Program
The program for Sabah FC players is a comprehensive four-step process:
| Step | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Diagnose | A full health check to identify underlying issues. |
| 2 | Detox | Flush out toxins that impede recovery. |
| 3 | Repair | Treatments to accelerate healing of muscles and organs. |
| 4 | Rejuvenate | Boost energy, focus, and strength with natural therapies. |
This method addresses the root causes of fatigue and injury, going beyond surface-level treatments.
From Malaysia to the National Football League
The success of this program led to an invitation for Prof. Chan to speak at Super Bowl Week 2026. The invitation came from Leigh Steinberg, a renowned NFL agent.
The NFL is particularly interested in Prof. Chan’s research on brain-specific treatments for concussions and other brain injuries.
“You can’t treat all injuries with the same solution. A knee needs knee treatment. A brain needs brain therapy. Precision matters,” explains Prof. Chan.
The Future of Sports Medicine
The work being done in Sabah is setting a new standard for athlete care. Kota Kinabalu is now recognized as a leading center for elite athlete regeneration in the region.
Other sports, such as rugby and MMA, are expected to adopt similar bioregenerative approaches. The world of sports is ready for a change, and Prof. Chan is leading the way.
