Comments by Brett Larner: 2:34 marathoner & Japan Running News editor
"I started receiving treatment from Russ in the fall of ’07 six months after a prolonged injury began keeping me out of training. Standard medical treatment and months of massage from a therapist who regularly works with a two-time Olympic marathon medalist failed to produce results, but within weeks of starting to visit Russ I was back on the roads and the path to complete recovery.
Russ was great about introducing acupuncture to someone like me who had little experience with it. He talked me through my initial unease, always explained the rationale for what he was doing, and was generous with his advice on stretching and other preventative mechanisms and with his time. Sessions with him became an integral part of my training regimen and I’ve been at a loss to find someone as skilled to replace him. Tokyo’s loss is New York’s gain."
