What Airrosti Means to Me:Airrosti is changing the way our patients experience healthcare. It is a more efficient avenue for people in pain to go through, and choosing Airrosti means that as the patient, you will get honest and efficient care. Airrosti is not about making money off of people in pain; it is about empowering the patient to move towards a healthier lifestyle.

I got acquainted with Airrosti some years ago at a Blue Cross event and several subsequent events. Dr. Chris Cato was usually representing the company. After seeing the demonstrations and the statistical results, I referred many employees to Airrosti over the years. Then this past spring, 2024, I jumped out of bed and did 40 pushups without warming up or stretching. At 66 years old, I should not ever do that. Two days later, a level 7 pain right under my right shoulder blade developed, as if someone had punched me in the back. After 10 days of discomfort and sleepless nights, I made an appointment at Airrosti with Dr. Monica Hirsch in the Cypress, Texas office which I can see from my house from our upstairs window. I got right in the nex…+ show moret day. Dr. Hirsch asked what happened, and all I could point to was two days before the pain set in, I did this set of pushups. She had me sit on the table and put her hand right on the spot without any instruction from me and applied light pressure. “Yep, that’s it!” She knew exactly what I had done. In layman’s terms, I had slightly rotated my shoulder blade, and it was locked in place by some muscle spasms. Another Airrosti associate gave me about four exercises to do, and they told me to come back in a week. After about 5 or 6 days, I was 75% better. I went to the follow-up visit, and unlike all other for-profit medical facilities that bleed these cases out for months, Dr. Hirsch had me do two additional exercises and said unless there were other issues, I would not need to come back. Who does that? Now I know how to stretch and how to rehab that same injury if it were to happen again. I keep my elastic band and lacrosse ball in my travel gear and at my office all the time. Now I am no longer just an Airrosti advocate, I am a convert. If anyone comes to me with MSK issues, I don’t hesitate. It’s Airrosti. Dr. Hirsch talked to me as if I were her neighbor. There was no unintelligible doctor speaking or shaming me for doing something stupid. In fact, she congratulated me on being active in my mid-sixties and told me to keep it up. Chris Cato introduced me to Airrosti and Monica Hirsch proved every claim to be true. There was nothing but professionalism throughout the entire process. Thank you all!

Dr. Monica Hirsch is an outstanding doctor. I began seeing her for muscle and joint injuries that just kept on returning. She helped me with my range of motion and provided preventative care exercises. These exercises strengthened the muscles around my joints and skeletal structure, so I was less likely to be in pain and thus avoid getting these injuries again. I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was very young. Exercise, resistance, and weight training have always been very helpful to ease the pain of this affliction. Since I’m aging and have acquired osteoarthritis in my neck and spine, Dr. Monica’s therapy sessions are extremely important to me. I’m very fortunate and grateful to have access to the care and guidance she provides.<…+ show more/p>
