Overview
- Sky released the feature documentary
- The film, broadcast this week by Sky, spotlights Hans‑Wilhelm Müller‑Wohlfahrt’s five‑decade career treating world‑class athletes and shows memorabilia from clients such as Usain Bolt and Manuel Neuer.
- Müller‑Wohlfahrt uses a palpation‑based method he describes as 'seeing with his hands' and continues to defend decades of use of Actovegin, a calf‑blood derived serum that remains medically contested.
- He says he felt abandoned by Bayern leadership during the April 2015 clash with coach Pep Guardiola and notes he would still treat Guardiola if asked to explain his approach.
- The film highlights personal costs of his career, including his wife’s hardship after moving to Munich, and shows succession in his practice through his son Kilian.
- By framing an empiric, hands‑on practice against mainstream sports medicine, the documentary is likely to revive public and medical debate about treatment standards, anti‑doping risks tied to Actovegin, and how clubs govern medical decisions.
