As a 72-year-old retired fisherman with chronic shoulder pain from decades of hauling nets, I'd lost all hope of lifting my grandchildren. Dr. Melek Ateş didn't just treat my rotator cuff; she designed a 'maritime rehabilitation' program using modified fishing motions. Within three months, I could cast a line again and now I teach my grandson to fish—pain-free.

I'm a 45-year-old software developer who developed debilitating repetitive strain injury in both wrists. Traditional therapy failed. Dr. Ateş pioneered a 'biofeedback keyboard' rehabilitation where sensors taught me to type with optimal muscle engagement. She treated the root cause, not just symptoms. I now code pain-free and have revolutionized my workstation ergonomics.

After a complicated hip replacement at 68, my recovery stalled with severe muscle weakness. Dr. Ateş introduced aquatic rehabilitation in Bodrum Hospital's specialized pool, using water resistance tailored to my progress. Her 'phased land transition' program got me from floating to hiking coastal trails within five months—something I hadn't done in a decade.
