Comeback Story

Kaya's Comeback with REHAFABRIK

An injury in soccer can put everything on hold overnight. After her injury, it quickly became clear to Kaya in the district league that it wasn't just a matter of being pain-free again, but of returning to the field feeling confident, strong, and with renewed self-confidence.

THERAPEUTIC GOAL

Pain-free in everyday life. Back on the field, strong, confident, and with greater self-assurance.

DURATION OF THERAPY

12 months

Areas of therapeutic focus:

Together, we worked to gradually reintroduce Kaya to the physical demands of her sport. This process was based on evidence-based criteria, structured therapy management, and regular performance assessments.

Throughout the entire rehabilitation process, the focus was on rebuilding strength, stability, and confidence in her own body—with a clear goal in mind: a return to competition (RTC).

After about a year, Kaya successfully passed her RTC tests and was able to return to the soccer field with full motivation and newfound self-confidence.

“I spent over a year at REHAFABRIK and always felt very comfortable there thanks to the great team and the wonderful atmosphere. The environment constantly motivates you to stay active and keep improving. Setbacks are acknowledged, and we work together to come back stronger. At the same time, you’re supported on your personal journey, and even small steps forward are recognized. That’s exactly what helped me stick with it and return to the field step by step.”

During the operation, a cruciate ligament graft was inserted, and his long road back to the playing field began.

One small moment in the game is enough, and suddenly nothing works as it did before. That's exactly what happened to Sina while playing volleyball: she tore the labrum in her shoulder. The joint lip had to be surgically reattached, and the focus after the operation was clear: to make the shoulder stable, resilient, and ready for everyday life again.
