Airrosti
Anyone ever hear of it? I'll be meeting a head trainer for a local high school who currently works with a Doctor who specializes in Airrosti. Just trying to do a little research before meeting the trainer and doc.

I had to do a bit of surfing and reading to learn a little. It seems to be deep tissue massage combined with an adaptation of the old Korean taping therapy. On one site it mentioned needing to be painful to get results in the fascia. Seems akin to a number of north China, Korean and Japanese methods that sprang from Amma.
It seems more and more that various medical fields are adapting massage techniques. Does it seem that way to you? What is your take on Airrosti?

well i only visited that site i linked to. i really couldn't get WHAT they were doing...only the definition of fascia and their philosophies. I actually found their site very uninformative for my purposes.
One more local site of the link i provided, had a menu of various services. But the tab labeled massage therapy had no populated pages. i thought that was odd and funny.
It sounds like this method is not really along the lines of my practice, but the trainer wants to talk so I figured it was good to know who they are currently using. I'm not sure if he is looking to get his athletes to come see me in addition TO this other therapy, or if he's looking to replace this other therapy. I guess that's what sparked my immediate concern. I almost see this therapy as being the "physical therapy" that is done with sport injuries. So my feeling would be that massage would be in conjunction with this therapy and not a replacement.
thoughts?

I get the same impression you do and also did not find much of an informative nature online. It was mostly a sales pitch. What I could find seemed rather old style PT with deep massage. I might be wrong but it is the impression I got from the promotional materials.
I will be very interested in your findings after you visit with them.

And apparently requires a "diagnosis." That was mentioned on all the sites I visited.
