Summary Objectives: To assess the feasibility, safety, and preliminary subjective and clinical benefit of integrating Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMRT; MBST®) into a multimodal treatment and rehabilitation protocol in musculoskeletal injuries in elite-level football players. Methods: A retrospective extended case series was conducted at Hamburger Sport-Verein (HSV) during the 2024-25 season. Thirteen male first-team footballers (aged19-29) sustaining various acute/chronic muscle, tendon, ligament, and bone injuries were treated in addition to standard-of-care rehabilitation (combination therapy) with daily 60-minute NMRT sessions (7-10 x). Subjective and overall clinical results, re-injury occurrence, safety profile and adverse events were collected over 12months. Injury prevalence and incidence in elite European football were contextualized using established data sources. Key Results: In the HSV case series, all 13 players achieved timely and sustained return to full training and matches, with zero re-injuries and no reported side effects. NMRT was well tolerated and easily integrated into existing physiotherapy and recovery routines. Conclusions: Combination therapy is the cornerstone of treating elite athletes, who require a multifaceted approach to treatment that addresses their unique needs and ensures they receive the best possible care. Combining NMRT with standard multimodal therapy appears to be a safe, well-accepted, and potentially effective adjunct in sustainable rehabilitation of typical elite football injuries. While promising in this single-club case reports, controlled trials are essential to quantify NMRT`s additive benefit and establish standardized treatment protocols in sports medicine. Autorreferat
