🌟 Patient of the Month: Liz 🌟
After turning 40, Liz knew she was ready for a change — but stepping into a gym felt intimidating. With the right guidance and support, she discovered not just strength, but confidence she never thought possible.
Her goal was simple: become stronger, healthier, and more energized. Before training with Mariia, Liz couldn’t even do a real squat. Today, Liz is crushing squats (yes, even weighted ones!) and confidently strength training — something she once couldn’t imagine doing.
Through learning proper form, safe progressions, and trusting the process, Liz has transformed both physically and mentally. What once felt overwhelming is now empowering, and the gym has become a place she wants to be. Liz says, “Mission Physical Therapy and Mariia have given me a life changing experience. Mariia has ensured that I have learned proper form and the correct progression which has helped maximize results!”
💪 Favorite exercises: Romanian deadlifts & cable rows
😅 Least favorite (but still loves): Bulgarian split squats
Liz’s journey is proof that strength training is for everyone — at any age — and that the right support can truly be life-changing.
We’re so proud of you, Liz! Thank you for letting us be a part of your mission! 💙
