💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
After knee surgery, my physical therapist had me start with seated leg extensions. I was skeptical such a simple move would help, but six months later, I'm climbing stairs without pain and keeping up with my grandkids at the park. I still do them daily while watching the evening news—it's become my non-negotiable minute of strength.
