Confession: I cannot remember what AIRROSTI stands for, but I don't care! In my opinion, it is…read moreshorthand and an acronym for amazing incredible rapid recovery of something terrifically incredible (yes - incredible x 2). Note: some insurance covers this, some insurance does not. Regardless: it is worth the cost. I repeat: it is worth every penny.
Anyhow, enough silliness - Airrosti is a national (?) network of providers who specialize in getting you better as soon as possible. They aim for 4 sessions or less. They will impress upon you the importance of following their directions and guidance, but, it's not hocus pocus. They have their knowledge, and they apply it successfully. Now, I am not a doctor or physical therapist or anything like that, but they know what they can treat and what they cannot. They focus on soft tissue stuff, I think - so, if you're not sure, just ask. They cannot fix everything, but they can help so much of the pain and injuries associated with my favorite athletic events from endurance to lifting to intense exercise.
I went about a month before a marathon, because I had a wicked injury that was not getting better for almost 2 months - essentially sidelining me. With so many races, I knew this one was bad, and I feared the worst. Dr. Bryant was honest and optimistic, but I wasn't sure... until after the first session. I was able to move like I hadn't moved in all that time. More importantly, I could, in some respects, move BETTER. Ok, yes, there was some pain involved in the therapeutic treatment, but, that's physical therapy for you, right?
Within TWO sessions, I was better. By the third, we literally talked, high-fived, and I was on my way. I waited to write this review until after my race - if it was as good as I hoped, I"d be able to run the race without the nagging pain. I had NONE of the nagging pain for which I was treated return, at all. Of course, there's always fatigue and wear and tear from a marathon, but the injury for which I was treated had no signs of reappearing.
I am going to register for my next 26.2 within the next few days. I am going to start a competition in the next two days. I can only do this because of Dr. Bryant - I have told everyone I know who might need his expertise to just go, and for you, dear reader, I do the same.
