Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfarth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfarth is the club doctor at Bayern Munich and is a world leader in the treatment of sports injuries. He has treated many footballers including Jürgen Klinsmann[1], Ronaldo and Jonathan Woodgate[2] and other sportsmen and women such as Paula Radcliffe [3] Kelly Holmes [4] and Maurice Greene [5].
He helped cure Michael Owen's hamstring problems in time to play at the Euro 2000 tournament[6] and has also helped Owen's Liverpool F.C. and England colleague, Steven Gerrard [7] and Harry Kewell [8] .
Darren Gough [9] and Alex Tudor [10], Essex cricketers, have benefited from the German doctor's pioneering treatments.
José María Olazábal [11] , the 1994 US Masters golf champion was suffering from the crippling effects of rheumatoid arthritis when he visited Muller-Wolfhart but was able to win at Augusta again in 1999.
Rugby World Cup winner Will Greenwood [12] is another who has benefited from the doctor's treatment after 8 months with a groin problem. Weeks later he was staking a claim to a recall to the England team.
Many of the German doctor's treatments are controversial, including using injections of a substance called Hylart[13], extracted from the crest of cockerels, which is claimed to help lubricate knee injuries and take away the pain. He has also injected honey or calves' blood in to patients.
