The video was childish. The closest I could find in looking for an awnser to a "what is this treatment" was this:


"At your initial consultation, your Airrosti provider will perform a thorough clinical assessment to evaluate your condition and determine the root cause of your pain/injury. This will be followed by soft tissue and joint mobilization through a hands-on approach to improve the healing potential of the target area and the surrounding tissue. When appropriate, a customized program of stretches and exercises will be prescribed to help speed recovery and prevent future injuries, and additional instruction will be provided for home self-care. "


WTF? Doesn't tell me much? Tells me nothing in fact.


My cardiologist talked me into EECP therapy for angina. Sounded like a good idea for my issues. What is EECP? EECP and Heart Regenerative Therapy - YouTube

I can only tell anyone who has back, especially lower back problems and cardiac problems to be very careful of this. Seven weeks of treatment bouncing on a bed 60-80 times a minute every day severely and quickly aggravated & brought out what I have since discovered to be severe osteoarthritis in my L4 & L5 vertebrae. WOWZA!!!. After a few visits and shots from a Neurologist, I saw an orthopedic doctor this past Friday & he gave me a new RX & script for PT. Said I wasn't ready for surgery...just yet.
If I could have predicted the future back in Sept., I would have taken a pass on the EECP & lived with the angina.
C'est la Vie.

Takeaway: Even passive, non-surgical treatment may have harmful side-effects. I'm glad your experience was positive, Mike.

Good luck with your surgery Tom.
