Aaron Williams, DC

While doing an Olympic weightlifting move 14 months ago, I got a pretty severe lateral herniated disc L5 S1. Since then I was sent on a wormhole of going to a basic physical therapist, Chiropractic with it only getting worse and worse, and me becoming dependent upon a practitioner that lived an hour across town, then acupuncture (don’t get me started on acupuncture) where I was prescribed more and more magic potions, made to radically change my diet, do a cleanse, and was told to stop all activity and I need to be bedridden laying on my back for at least three months, which is absolutely not suitable for my career. I took that advice stopped all fun in my life for two months, and the result was nothing short of impending doom and sudden d... + show moreeath of my ablebodied-ness. I could no longer do a down dog, could not stand for longer than two minutes without agonizing nerve pain, and got into a level of desperation that made me scour the Reddit forums understanding how people have committed suicide over this level of chronic pain. All the while the acupuncturist and chiropractor told me after three months of sessions I needed to be paying them for anywhere from 8 to 12 months, $20,000-$30,000 of investment and 6 to 8 hours a week of my time tied up during peak business hours to go to these practitioners. To say I was desperate, was an understatement. Enter Dr. Aaron Williams, Lo and Airrosti— my boyfriend had been lovingly barking at me to at least go see him (he’d helped him with some tennis elbow.) I came in guarded and skeptical, and that was immediately melted after Dr. Aaron said “I only want to see you four sessions, after that, the goal is we never have to see each other again.” MUSIC 👏 TO 👏 MY 👏 EARS 👏!! Dr. Aaron Williams and Lo have been absolute game changers- teaching me tools and pointing out building strength deficits and I have been able to resume my workouts, and genuinely feel EMPOWERED over my body (instead of losing agency to a practitioner who spends 2-3 minutes total with me), my nervous system, and now I have tools to know how to handle signs of tightness or strain. And rehab sessions with Lo are fantastic, she is such a fantastic sunshiny presence that is such a delight to share time with. Thank you Dr. Aaron for giving me REAL solutions that have brought my LIFE back to me. I can walk over 2 hours with no pain now, and mindfully move in my workout classes.

I have been seeing Dr. Williams for years for many different issues and injuries. Dr. Williams is an incredible person who is truly invested in his patients. He does a wonderful job of thoroughly going through everything and listening carefully to the patient to fully understand what the patient is experiencing. I always recommend Dr. Williams and his office to family and friends for the outstanding service provided. But most importantly, the relationship Dr. Williams creates with his patients. He truly cares about his patients. Keep up the excellent work you do, Doc!

Throughout my adult life, I have suffered from back-related pain ever since a motorcycle accident I was involved in when I was in college. Over the last 40 years of my life, I have seen all sorts of doctors and tried almost every method, including but not limited to Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Orthopedic doctors and surgeons, muscle relaxants, pain killers, Physical Therapy, Dry Needling, Rolfing, Massage, etc. The only thing that has worked and provided long-lasting relief is my daily stretching routine and Airrosti. I first heard about Airrosti as I was dealing with chronic hamstring issues for almost four years playing ice hockey. I was talking to a friend who also played hockey, and when I told her about my hamstring pulls, she suggested... + show more I look into Airrosti. I had never heard of it, but I was willing to try anything as I couldn't even get down on the ice to stretch without pulling my hamstring muscles. In practice, what I like about Airrosti is their stated goal when you walk in their door is not to lead you on and get you hooked on temporary relief like other practitioners. While you are under their care, they not only treat your injuries, but they teach you how to eliminate the pain permanently by providing you with step-by-step instructions on how to properly stretch and use the foam roller, etc. I have been to 2 different practitioners in Austin, TX; first I saw Aaron Williams for my hamstring issues, and more recently, after moving to another part of Austin, I saw Rachel Westbrook for back pain, plantar fasciitis, and sciatica! In both situations, Aaron and Rachel helped me. Working with Aaron for a month, I was able to get back on the ice playing 2-3 times per week for at least five years till 2020 when Covid temporarily halted our lives. With Rachel, as I was hoping for, within a month of her treatment in their office and being diligent with my at-home routine, I am no longer dealing with sciatica, plantar fasciitis, or lower back pain. Finally, I have found the key to Airrosti is doing the at-home stretching, rolling, etc. that they prescribe. If you don't, you will probably not receive the relief you were seeking. If you are suffering from any of the pains I have outlined above, I highly recommend trying Airrosti, particularly Aaron Williams and Rachel Westbrook, as they are awesome and genuinely care about their patients and help them get back to whatever physical activity they have been missing out on!

My sessions with Dr. Aaron Williams at Airrosti Riverside have been nothing less than life-changing. I had a lot of issues to address post-lockdown. The rapid recovery treatment approach made all the difference! The treatment sessions, the patient education, and the coaching has been next-level excellence! I couldn’t believe how quickly Dr. Williams was able to stabilize my severe pain points and help me focus on rehab and building strength. Not only was I feeling better rather quickly, I never missed a day of work due to my issues. He has a keen intuition and an incredible depth of experience and it shows! I have never felt more empowered about my own health and physical well-being thanks to this whole experience. I’ve embraced that th... + show moreis is a process and I’m grateful that the Airrosti approach is continuously supportive. Dr. Williams helped me get back into my body and feel like myself again.

After going to a free evaluation through my workplace, I found out I was suffering from whiplash from a car accident a month prior. I was experiencing debilitating headaches daily and my range of motion in my neck was terrible. I worked with Dr. Williams for about 5 months and now back to normal and no more headaches. I really love the exercises I was given to do at home and how great I would feel after having my appointment at Arrosti. Dr. Williams is great and I recommend Arrosti to everyone that I can.

I came to Airrosti Austin for a hurt foot from running. I noticed a huge difference after the first session. By the 3rd session, all the pain was gone and I’m back to running! Highly recommend!!!

I first went to Airrosti when I was competing in the Crossfit Games Regionals in 2014. Then when I moved to DC in 2016 I was lucky enough to have an Airrosti provider within distance from where I lived. Over the past two years, Airrosti has helped me fight groin issues, lower back pain, and elbow pain. Every time I went to Airrosti I felt a little better and was given the tools to make continual progress with the areas that hurt to make them feel better and stay better. Airrosti has really helped my continue to train hard for multiple years and I will continue to use them in the future!

I had tried everything for a year prior to airrosti for plantar fasciitis in both feet with little improvement. I heard several times about Airrosti, but wish I had known prior to all that I had tried. My visits took longer because I had more than feet issues, but I went in limping and in severe pain and finished with some flare ups, but such great ability to move, walk and live life!! If I had not gone in, I really think I would still be living in great pain. It was painful, but so worth the outcome. I recommend Airrosti to everyone in pain. Go here first!! Skip the shots, boot, stuff on Amazon, physical therapy and get those knots worked out. Thanks!!
