Nicole is a 42-year-old architect, who has always been active, enjoying weekend bike rides and swimming. However, after months of working long hours at her desk, she started experiencing persistent shoulder pain. At first, she ignored it, assuming it was just muscle fatigue. But as her pain worsened, even simple tasks like reaching for a shelf or holding her child became challenging.

However, like many busy professionals, Nicole found it difficult to attend in-person sessions regularly. She also struggled with staying motivated to perform her exercises at home without direct supervision.
