Itd be hard for me to explain just how much of an impact on my life the treatment Ive received from the Charlottesville Airrosti team, Dr. Goedken and Page, has been without it being an understatement. In 1998, I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, resulting in open fractures of the femur, tibia and fibula. I had a 50/50 chance of losing my right leg. I kept it, but not without consequences. I was without insurance (in the brazen stupidity of a 23 year old) at the time, and as such could not afford physical therapy. After 3 weeks in the hospital, 4 surgeries, and no weight bearing for 6 months, my leg atrophied to almost bone. I walked with pain for over two years, and never regained a proper range of motion. In 2008, I had a trauma that cracked my right heel bone in half, and broke pieces off my talus. I had two more surgeries, six more months of zero weight bearing, and once again, had no sessions of PT. After both injuries and atrophy, I ended up with torqued hips, that sent a spiral up my spine, which radiated misalignment and pain into nearly every joint in my body, including my hands. I was at a point where I could no longer squeeze ketchup out of a plastic bottle with one hand. In 2011 I started doing yoga to try to reverse all of the effects that had radiated all throughout my body. I made slow progress, but the process was unbelievably painful. Eventually I seemed to stall in my ability to understand and repair my misalignment further than I had through yoga alone. By late 2014, I was in such a bad state that something simple like an extended car ride would put me out of commission for several days. It had affected my ability to do almost anything active except try to stretch and do yoga. And the most detrimental impact on my life was the inability sit at a desk to work. I knew I needed some professional help. At that time, a yoga teacher at the studio where I practice recommended I see the Airrosti team - who had helped her as well. After just a couple weeks of visits with Airrosti, I was able to manage inflammation flair-ups within a matter of hours, rather than what would have been days previously, by following the home rolling and exercises diligently. In the short time I have been going to Airrosti, my rehabilitation progress has vaulted to a new level. I make steady, rapid improvement week by week. My pain is a specter of what it was 6 months ago, and my alignment is the best it has been in over 15 years. My case is a bit extraordinary, and has required more visits than is normal, but I am simply astounded at how much it has improved my quality of life, reduced my pain, helped me re-learn lost motor control, and rebuilt pockets of atrophy. I am able to ride a bike, go on hikes, and most importantly, I am able to work full-time again. If you are suffering from injuries, misalignment, pain, stiffness, etc., I endorse this treatment. My gratitude to Dr. Goedken and Page is without words. It has quite simply saved my physical life from a future of debilitation and disability to a future of freedom of movement.

Upon first visiting Airrosti, I had absolutely no idea what to expect but had heard great things from a couple friends who had received treatment. I went in with a swollen ankle, having rolled it a few weeks prior, and had a race looming that upcoming weekend. Dr. Goedken was great in diagnosing my mild grade 1 sprain and was very communicative during the treatment process. Vincent was fantastic as well, guiding me through a few physical therapy exercises. Within 2 appointments, I was cleared to run my marathon--just 6 days after first coming into the Airrosti clinic--and even qualified for Boston! Dr. Goedken and Vincent followed up with me 4 days after the race to ensure that things were healing well. I would highly recommend their care and will without a doubt come back if ever injured in the future.

I went to Dr. Goedken back in October for a shoulder issue. I have previously had two surgeries on the right shoulder, and was experiencing intense pain in that area again. I honestly thought I would have to undergo another surgery, but my husband (who was also a patient of Dr. Goedken) convinced me to see him. The first appointment was intense, but prior to leaving, the pain I had been experiencing was much less. I was given exercises to perform at home from Vincent, & they helped in my recovery. I saw Dr. Goedken a total of 3 visits with amazing results. If I have this issue return or develop another problem, I will return to seek treatment from them. I would recommend them to family and friends!

Dr Getty and Vincent are The Bees Knees! Me? Im just a normal girl with normal knees - and a bum shoulder! After having been run over by a bicyclist last summer, I spent 9 months in physical therapy 3x/week and months working with the owner of barre.d studio to rehab and strengthen my foundational muscles. Airrosti Charlottesville put the finishing touches on the process with their quick recovery methods and brought back my quality of life - I can finally wash my own hair, sleep through the night, and Crossfit again! I highly recommend Airrosti Charlottesville as a first line of defense for any soft tissue pain or injury - sprained ankles and wrists, back pain, pulled hamstrings, etc.

I had been battling bursitis in my right knee on and off for over five years. Walking out of my first Airrosti visit, my knee felt better than it had in years. I had been running for a couple of years wearing a knee sleeve and a velcroed wrap on that knee; since working with Airrosti, I have been running wrap-free. The appointments and home rehab have also helped me greatly improve my running form, which I know will help me not get injured. Two days after my next-to-last visit, I finished a local, uphill 5k race second in my age group. I have recommended Getty and Vincent to several friends as well as to my husband who says hes going in when we return from our upcoming vacation.

I first heard about Airrosti through a friend at my gym that had foot problems in the past and raved about them. I had been having knee issues myself for many years, and while I was skeptical, I thought I would at least try it out. Ive been probably 6 times now and both Dr. G and Vincent have been so knowledgable, helpful and kind. I have felt a significant improvement, I am able to do a lunge without pain for the first time in years and have learned a lot from them about preventing further injuries. I have tried several other PTs and Airrosti is BY FAR the best. I couldnt recommend them enough!

Dr. Getty is a life saver! I was a bit skeptical at first due to the cost but after receiving treatment I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Getty and Vincent are an amazing team. I have been having back issues on and off for the last seven years and after three visits my back has never felt better. Not only do they take care of the issue on hand but they educate you on what the issue is and how to help better it on your own time. I cannot recommend them enough and I know if I ever I have an issue again I will certainly turn to them for help. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment.
