When Juliet Clobes suffered a spinal fracture during a softball game three years ago, likely from sliding into base, she couldn’t have known that split second would change the trajectory of her athletic career. The Georgetown resident and Sussex Technical High School 10th grader has since endured a difficult journey that recently led to spinal fusion surgery and a renewed passion for the sport she loves.

“There were times when the pain was so intense I couldn’t walk,” Clobes said. “Then there would be periods where it didn’t hurt for a while. It was unpredictable.”

For nearly three years, Clobes experienced these painful flare-ups, seeking various treatments, including a spinal injection that provided relief for about six months. Despite the challenges, she continued to pursue her passion for softball, playing first and third base positions, and even participating in the 2022 softball regionals. Now, her recovery journey has brought her to Aquacare Athletics, where specialized performance-enhancing physical therapy has been instrumental in her comeback.
