Revolutionizing Athletic Recovery: Prof. Mike Chan's Journey from Sabah FC to the Super Bowl

In the world of sports, transformation often begins with a single step. For Sabah FC, a premier football club in Malaysia, that step came with the establishment of a partnership with European Wellness, known for its anti-aging and precursor stem cell therapies. This collaboration has set a new standard in sports medicine and is now making waves on one of the world’s biggest stages—the Super Bowl.

The Beginning in Sabah

The partnership officially formed in late 2025, aiming to enhance player recovery, prevent injuries, and ensure peak performance throughout the season. Unlike traditional physiotherapy, the focus is on treating athletes holistically, addressing their bodies from within. This marked Sabah FC as the first club in Malaysia to embrace bioregenerative medicine, an approach that emphasizes healing, restoration, and rebuilding at the cellular level. Md Joh Wid, the General Manager of Sabah FC, underscored their goal: “We want our players to come in fit and leave even fitter.”

Prof. Mike Chan, who has dedicated over 40 years to preparing for such moments, emphasizes that true endurance goes beyond stamina. “It’s about staying strong, even in overtime,” he explains.

What Players Experience

The program for Sabah FC players involves a unique four-stage process: Diagnose, Detox, Repair, and Rejuvenate. Here’s what this entails:

1. Comprehensive Health Check: Athletes undergo thorough health assessments to identify problems early.
2. Detoxification: Harmful toxins that impede recovery are flushed out.
3. Repair Treatments: Possibilities for faster healing of damaged muscles and organs are explored.
4. Rejuvenation: Energy, concentration, and strength are boosted through natural therapies like oxygen treatments and nutrition coaching.

The Science Behind the Success

Traditional training and rehabilitation focus on visible issues—soreness, swelling, or sprains. However, Prof. Chan’s approach addresses the unseen challenges—fatigued organs, stress hormones, and long-term wear and tear. By tailoring treatments to each athlete's needs, this method is gaining traction among celebrities, executives, and athletes alike. The benefits include:

• - Reduced fatigue.
• - Shorter recovery times.
• - Enhanced mental clarity.
• - Joint strength.
• - Balanced hormone levels.

A Call from the Super Bowl

As the partnership with Sabah FC gained recognition, Prof. Chan received an unexpected invitation from Leigh Steinberg, the prominent NFL agent who inspired the film Jerry Maguire. He was invited to speak during Super Bowl Week 2026 before NFL teams, doctors, and athletes. With the NFL actively seeking solutions for concussion and brain injury issues, Prof. Chan's experience in developing brain-specific treatments using organ-focused cell therapy became invaluable. He explains, “One cannot treat all injuries with a one-size-fits-all solution. A knee requires knee-specific therapy; a brain needs brain-specific therapy.”

The Future of Sports in 2026 and Beyond

This innovation isn't just significant; it could shape the future of athletic care across various sports, including rugby, MMA, and Olympic teams. The techniques initially tested in Sabah are now being recognized globally, positioning Southeast Asia at the forefront of next-generation athlete care.

The premier center established by Prof. Chan in Kota Kinabalu has become recognized as ASEAN's hub for the regeneration of elite athletes.

Looking Ahead

With 2025 as a launching point, 2026 could be the breakthrough year for worldwide acceptance of these methods. The scientific backing is solid, with promising results leading the sports community to embrace new ideas. Athletes deserve more than mere rest and pain relief; they deserve genuine recovery. Thanks to Prof. Mike Chan, they are now receiving just that.
