💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
After shoulder surgery, I struggled to lift even light objects overhead. My physical therapist started me on one-minute overhead press sessions with water bottles. The progress was gradual but steady. Now, six months later, I can easily lift my carry-on into the overhead compartment and reach items on high shelves without pain. That daily minute of pressing has restored my independence and confidence in my body's capabilities.
