How I saved a park tree from choking on its roots

I was doing routine checks in the local park and spotted this oak looking REAL sad. Leaves were yellow, and it just wasn't growing right. I got down and dug a bit, and sure enough, the roots were all twisted around each other. We decided to try air spading to loosen them without hurting the tree. It took all afternoon, but seeing it perk up after was AMAZING. What do you guys do when you see root problems like this?

I mean, "seeing it perk up after" really makes it sound like you gave the tree therapy. Maybe it's just happier than I am.
