2 days ago on Tuesday I went to get "Airrosti" treatment. I had heard about it from a triathlete friend. She had fought plantar fasciitis for 2 years before getting Airrosti, which cleared it up in 2 weeks.
The treatment was painful at times--- deep deep massage is how I'd describe it. I have a long list of doubts as to why it won't work for me. But I went running 2 miles this afternoon and had no problems or pain during the run, which is good. I haven't run for 6 weeks. Now I'm waiting to see if there is any delayed onset pain...... but I must admit, I wasn't expecting to feel this good. So I'm having some immensely tentative and cautious feelings right now that something might be happening. Stay tuned.....?

A blog about my lame hip. I have a torn labrum. It's sort of a rare injury, and it's been difficult finding information. Here's an account of my surgery and my return to running. I hope some find the information useful.
About Me
- Rich
- Austin, TX
- “I don’t see how anyone related to me can run a marathon”, my Dad had told me. I couldn’t argue. I had inherited his short legs and flat feet, yet I was thinking about training for a marathon. My wife was pregnant, due in six months. And I was up to my eyeballs in pre-baby anxiety. So running a marathon didn’t sound all that crazy-- a healthy way to channel my nervous energy. I never intended to run much more than my first marathon, but thousands of miles later, and much to my surprise, running has become an obsession of mine.
I hope that my lame-ass hip is only a bump in the road on my running journey-- a fairly big bump, mind you, with evil-looking spikes-- but a bump nonetheless...

Hey Rich,
I was wondering what ever happened to your hip -- did things improve after your 6 weeks off? It just seems us repeat offenders have a tough time of it and our hips will never be quite the same. I hope you everything is going well and you are out training for a (half) marathon??
