A closer look
You know your game. Get to know your body.
Your training plan doesn’t tell the whole story.
Recurring symptoms, fatigue or slow recovery deserve more than a single measurement. We look at your findings alongside your history and the demands you face on the pitch.
- 01
Understand your starting point
Examination, bloodwork and movement data build your personal baseline.
- 02
Turn findings into care
Manual medicine, nutrition and training load are guided by what you need.
- 03
Stay connected through the season
We review your progress and adjust your plan with you.
Our research in professional football
Even at the highest level, there’s more to understand.
Our own cohort reports show how often measured values fell outside the targets used in each analysis. They give us a starting point for individual clinical questions.

Ferritin below target
Report target: ≥130 ng/ml · 20 measured

Vitamin D outside target
Report target: 50–70 ng/ml · 20 measured
Outside target does not automatically mean deficient. The report’s functional targets are stricter than laboratory reference ranges and are not established sport-specific clinical cut-offs.

How to interpret these findings
First measurements from 20 professional players. Not every marker was measured in every player, so each figure shows its own denominator.
According to the report, around 90% of results came from IMD Berlin. Results from other laboratories were converted to the classification used in the report.
These are small observational cohorts without a control group or reported treatment outcomes. They do not establish performance gains or fewer injuries and cannot be generalised to all athletes.
Additional report · Performula
18 professionals. A separate analysis.
The Performula report uses its own targets: 17/17 were below its CoQ10 target (>2000 µg/l), and 15/17 had an omega-3 index below 10%. These figures also describe first measurements.
Targets and measurement counts differ, so the reports are presented separately. Participant overlap is not documented; sample sizes are not added together.

Diagnostics & treatment
Your body. Your season.
One connected plan.
We select the right assessments together. Bloodwork, strength and movement connect with treatment, nutrition and recovery, guided by the question you want to answer.

Athlete stories
What athletes say.
Experiences from professional football.
“I visited Jan for a general check-up after having a few problems with my knee. He showed me how to engage my muscles fully through specific exercises and techniques.”
“Jan has helped me focus on improving my weaknesses and is always there to guide me on topics related to performance and recovery.”
“Jan helped me bring structure to my supplementation and understand why targeted nutrients matter for performance.”
“The athlete's long-term health is the top priority. Jan has explained many new approaches to me, and the empathy and time he takes to help is amazing.”
“Jan has been a huge help in minimising the risk of injury. Together, we identified additional ways to improve recovery and performance.”
“I was very impressed by Jan's work and his holistic approach to performance.”
Do you work with individual athletes and clubs?
Yes. We work with individual professionals, groups, and full squads.
Does this replace our medical team?
No. We complement existing structures and coordinate directly where useful.
When are measurements useful?
At pre-season, during high-load phases, for return-to-play, or for follow-up.
What does your own research show?
Our reports describe baseline laboratory findings in small cohorts of 20 and 18 professional footballers. Many values fell outside the functional targets used in each report. This is not equivalent to a clinical deficiency. The analyses do not show treatment effects; targets and measurement counts differ. You can read the original reports and their context on this page.
Will I automatically need supplements?
No. A single value does not determine treatment. We consider your diet, symptoms, existing supplements and clinical context. We discuss individually whether supplementation makes sense and when to review it.
How is care billed?
We are a private practice and bill according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ). The scope depends on your needs and the services agreed. We discuss fees and any laboratory work beforehand. Club arrangements are agreed separately.
For athletes. For teams. For what’s ahead.
