About Miguel
I played basketball for years. I know what it’s like to train with sore muscles, compete with a taped ankle, and go to bed wondering if your body will hold up for another week of competition. Recovery was something you did as best you could, with whatever you had.
I studied physiotherapy partly for that reason: I wanted to understand what was happening inside the body. And when I joined the Chinese Olympic Committee, I realized that what I had experienced as an athlete didn’t have to be that way. The difference between an elite athlete and anyone else is not just talent: it’s access to the right tools to recover well.
Pressotherapy was key in this. Not because it was new, but because it worked in a way I myself had needed without knowing it: it improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and prepares the muscle for the next effort. Simple, effective, and backed by years of professional use in high-performance sports.
Wellbeinn is the answer to a question I’ve been asking myself since I came back: why isn’t this available to everyone? Now it is.
