Rheumatoid Arthritis Support Group
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction. The disease is also systemic in that it often also affects many extra-articular tissues throughout the body including the skin, blood vessels, heart, lungs, and...
I just went to my first airrosti session. The idea is to hold off on getting radiofrequency ablation on my lumbar facet joints. (burning the nerves)
I must say I am really impressed but it's not for everyone! If you remember my posts, I've complained about muscles, bursa, and tendons. The facet joints themselves are going to eventually need help but perhaps this will delay it for a very long time.
Airrosti involves soft tissue and joint mobility. It's like that "hurts so good" feeling. I was sitting down upon entering in my normal slump. After one session, I was sitting upright and was comfortable. After having my hips (greater trochanter) worked on, I actually felt GOOD.
Anyway, I wondered if anyone here has experience with this. I'm basically considering it a different form of physical therapy - more intense but perhaps with stronger results.

I'm also doing exercises with a large foam cylinder that I roll on and a lacross ball on my lower back. Weird I know but it's helping!
If you go all the way to minute 4, you'll see what I'm doing. It's not easy and I know you'd laugh if you saw me trying to get into position...but it works.

I also turned down the fry baby fry, for now procedure.
I love the intense feelings while doing yoga stretches for my hip and bursas so I know I would love this
are you paying cash?
is your health insurance covering this?
how many physical therapists are trained in this?
did your rheumatologist write a script for it?
how many physical therapy offices did you have to call before finding one that had a trained person in this modality?
i am very happy for you
I love foam rollers. I used to use one in the trap area, as shown by my PT at the time, before the neck surgery and it did help.
we have a PT on here from NY maybe he will chime in?

I don't need referral scripts with my PPO, so I just went.
