Giannis Kostakis is ready to start his training for the London Paralympic Games. After successfully completing his rehabilitation treatment at the ANAPLASI Recovery and Rehabilitation Center, both our Paralympic champion and the scientific director of ANAPLASI, Dr. Konstantinos Zikopoulos, confirm that Giannis Kostakis’ athletic preparation is starting at an intensive pace. “Now the nightmare is over. I woke up and found by my side those whom I have considered my own people for years, my family, the doctors, nurses, and therapists of ANAPLASI. So, I feel as if I did not miss a single day of training. I am grateful to them. I also thank everyone for their support.” His mother, moved with emotion, states: “I would like to especially thank the president of ANAPLASI, Dr. Christos Georgopoulos, for his care and humanity. If a mother’s thousand wishes are worth more than all the gold in the world, then he must feel like a millionaire for the wishes I have given him!
As the scientific director of ANAPLASI, Dr. Konstantinos Zikopoulos, emphasizes, “the goals of Yannis Kostakis’ rehabilitation treatment have been fully achieved. We have achieved the avoidance of complications (bedsores, thrombosis) that usually accompany such serious surgeries and the full functional rehabilitation of the athlete, so that he can prepare and triumph in the London Paralympic Games without obstacles.
