Mushed, Rolled and Taped

My knees and I are not friends. They are a source of constant challenges in my life for the last few years. If your knees are an issue, often other surrounding areas also join the party of giving me a hard time for lack of a better term.Luckily I am a stubborn person who has stopped giving up.

And this is how I had my first experience with Airrosti on the recommendation of a friend.

After a history is completed the exam begins.This is followed by manipulation of the areas that I originally complained about. Think deep tissue massage x10. Uncomfortable yes, but intolerable no.
I luckily am a believer in the process... when this portion was done , demonstration of flexibility, strength and so forth is then repeated. And it really was easier. (AWESOME).

I am then transferred into the second phase which includes foam rolling and stretches. If you know me in the non-blog world, you know that I LOVE stretching. Apparently I did well at this portion .

This is followed by being taped. Interestingly I am given color choices for this which include pink, tan and black and blue. I find the black and blue options very humorous...and say so.
I settle on tan as a first timer.

For my nurses:

It all still feels well a day later, a bit sore to the touch. The tape is still on ,and I am drinking water and icing my leg. Wouldn't hesitate to go again...in fact I am already scheduled.


Worst during treatment pain scale : ummm : 6
