Airrosti Rehab Center

Evidently after 2 more appointments with #airrosti all I need are mobility tools like the foam roller and lacross ball to make sure that my neck does not hurt anymore. I hear in the back of my head so many different people telling me a big «I told you so», and I hope you are all correct.
I started this journey with the idea that my bones cracked and felt out of alignment. My spine felt out of alignment and my bones hurt when cracking against other bones in my neck. So this whole time I have gone to physical therapy to fix this. You would think that all the people would eventually say we need to manipulate the muscle and not the bone, but that’s what they were telling me. So I believed them and felt I needed bone manipulation.
Airrosti says that it’s from a life of pulling my shoulders forward and my neck. Well if my posture was a 1 now my posture is so much better and its a 7. So I thought to myself why does this not fix it either? Well I was on the right track but it doesn’t reteach my muscles to do what they are suppose to be doing kinda like #NKT.
Well Airrosti is helped me retrain the muscles that are giving me all the trouble, firing when they shouldn’t. Also, why after massage and rolling and trigger point was thisnjot getting better if its just a muscle thing?
Well with Airrosti they dive into the #mayofacial and great it up… and when I say break it up I mean it hurts worse than someone one breaking up your bones. #ouch However I’m already feeling a little better and a lot of the cracking and terrible neck range issues I’m having are gone. So… lets see what happens. I could be back to my old self with a lot of new habits in just 1 more week. Thanks Airrosti.

I liked Dr. Edeker and his PT aid. I think the method helped but I had a few problems: 1. the whole thing was too commercial so I felt like a statistic instead of a person. 2. I think Dr. Edeker focus too much on the specific injury instead of taking a whole body approach — which even the Pt aid — Nick noticed. and 3 — the most egregious issue is that the company sent me another bill after I paid for all saying I owed another $ 100. When I called they said «oh, your insurance hasnt paid yet (but that is not what they showed on the bill and the math did not make sense) and then called back and said «all should go through on insurance and dont worry about the bill». This was just weeks after going and we all know that insurance can take a long time to pay. So basically, if I had not called they would have taken my money and run.

First visit after a recommendation from a friend. I have nasty elbow pain and a few of the simple tests he did really hurt — like having arum extended and him pushing down, me pushing up. After 20 mins of treatment the same tests revealed almost no pain. They gave me some home exercises to do, but so far I am very impressed by them. Do not think of them as a chiropractor or quack — if you have any muscle/​joint injury I highly recommend

Dr. Boudreaux is a certified Airrosti provider tucked away inside the Austin Immediate Care on Slaughter. I was thrilled when this Airrosti location opened its doors last year as it’s right by my work (I have previously visited the Buda office) and I am a huge fan of Airrosti.
Essentially they offer «soft tissue and joint mobilization delivered through a hands-​on approach,» which really just means they have magic thumbs! They specifically work on the fascia (connective tissue in the body) to heal acute injuries and chronic conditions (from a hammy pull to chronic knee pain). It kinda feels like the deepest deep tissue massage you have ever had. After this treatment you then work on stretching etc. (which you can take away as homework to more actively participate in your recovery) and then get taped up, so the appointment lasts about 60 minutes.
I saw Dr. Boudreaux last year after I experienced an acute SI joint injury, which resulted in severe low back pain that made sitting at work, driving, etc. excruciating. Airrosti claims they can rehab almost anything in three visits and that has always been my experience, and I only went in twice for my back. Lately, I have experienced a pinching in my hip, and while not severe, it’s been quite annoying, something that affects me on a daily basis. It’s been maybe 8 or months… I finally broke down and made an appointment (and got in same day, whoop!).
The treatment can be quite painful, but Dr. Boudreaux is cautious and gentle and will work with you to determine what is appropriate for you/​what you can handle. As it turns out my hip is impinged so the area he was working on (deep in my groin) was quite sensitive, both on a pain scale and a modestly level. Dr. Boudreaux was extremely professional and very patient with me. I was only on the table for maybe 15 minutes and was astounded to discover I already had a greater range of motion and less pain. Sometimes when you are done, it can feel a bit worse before it feels better, so I was pleasantly surprised, and so grateful, I almost cried. Embarrassing sure, but the doc handled it with grace. (As well as seriously knowing his sh-​t, he’s a very friendly and funny guy!)
I learned some new stretches and got taped up and then rushed back to work to tell my boyfriend and coworkers how great I was feeling. That’s when I realized I’d never reviewed this particular location/​doctor — shame on me! I cannot rave enough about this kind of treatment, you too will swear it’s magic!
2014 update: Dr. Edeker is the Doc onsite now, and all of the praise from my original review applies. Each Airrosti provider has a different background but are all highly trained in the Airrosti technique; at this point everyone I have seen has delivered the same exceptional treatment. (There must be something in the water there too, because everyone who works there is someone you’d want to go grab a drink with.)
Popped a rib? Fixed in 2 visits. Pain deep in my shoulder blade when I overhead press? 3 visits. Go here. You will not be disappointed.
