This is the Capital Connections Podcast, the place where local businesses and neighbors come together. Here's your host, Samuel Lowe.

Speaker 2:

Yes, welcome to the Capital Connections Podcast. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Surabh Garg of Care2Care Physiotherapy. Surabh, thanks for joining us today.

Speaker 3:

Thanks, Samuel. Thanks for calling me at Capital Connection Podcast. It's a nice meeting with you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely. Can you share Surabh a bit of what you do at Care to Care?

Speaker 3:

So myself, surabh Garg. I'm a registered physiotherapist at Care to Care Physiotherapy. We are situated at 4235 Standard Drive in Barravan area. At our center we provide physiotherapy services massage therapy, acupuncture, osteopathy, as well as we also deal with the motor vehicle accident and WSAB cases, and we also deal with sports injuries and concussions.

Speaker 2:

Okay, excellent. Can you share with our listeners your journey? I guess the how and why you got involved with physiotherapy?

Speaker 3:

Sure, physiotherapy is something I have always been passionate about, and it was not a straightforward path. When I was young, I had a lot of of sports injuries and I used to go for the different kind of treatments and physiotherapy clinics. And when I grew older, I realized how much of difference physiotherapy can make in the people's life. So it's not just about fixing the injuries, it's about empowering people to move better, live pain-free and improve their quality of life. So that's what inspired me to pursue a career in physiotherapy, and starting my own business was also a natural extension of that. So I wanted to create a space where people just don't come for the treatment, but they come for the comprehensive approach, for the wellness. So that's my journey towards that physiotherapy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, excellent. I had a fairly recent, you know, my first experience with a physiotherapist due to an injury and it's interesting she also had that same or, I guess, common origin it was from sports when she was much younger and she saw the benefit firsthand of what quality physiotherapy could do. In her particular case, what really brought her to it was dry needling. Don't know if that's something that you offer in your clinic or not but we do the acupuncture and we do the dry needling too.

Speaker 2:

Yep, I've experienced both and I could tell you there's a real distinct difference between them. Yes, dry needling certainly gets your attention Very effective, though. Yeah, that's, true Very good yeah, any myths or misconceptions that we could clear up about physiotherapy in general?

Speaker 3:

we could clear up about physiotherapy in general. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of myths and misconceptions still in today's life. So, first of all, people think that physiotherapy is only for the injuries, but that's not true. It's. Basically it helps to chronic pain management, also helps to improve the mobility and improve your quality of life. Sometimes people think that physical therapy is painful. It can, because when we work on the inflammatory muscles or the injuries definitely can be painful, but that helps to improve the quality of life. Again, and sometimes, most of the time, people think that they need a referral from the doctor, but in today's case we don't need any reference from the doctors.

Speaker 2:

You can come back to the stay forward and we can definitely do the full assessment for the for your injuries well, that's excellent, and can I, if you have third party or private insurance, would they cover any physiotherapy that hasn't been referred by your family doctor? Is that is that possible?

Speaker 3:

Yes, so now more than 90% insurance company. They cover the physiotherapy without any doctor and the best part of our clinic is we do the diet. We do almost all the insurance companies.

Speaker 2:

Okay, excellent, so direct billing as well. Let me see. We've all endured hardships and challenges along our personal journeys. Can you describe one that you rose above and you could say you're in a better place because of it?

Speaker 3:

all their ups and downs and every day we face a lot of different challenges. So the main thing is it's very hard to say what kind of challenges I face, but it's the full dedication and focus that's the main thing that you can achieve your goals and prove your quality of the service that you provide.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, super and Saurabh outside of work. How do you enjoy spending your time?

Speaker 3:

So I usually play squash. I'm very passionate about the squash and I do a lot of workouts and I'm also involved in running. So I do a lot of five-day runs and participate in different kinds of marathon runs in the city and also I write down the poems and present in different kinds of marathon events in the city. Yeah, and so I'm, and so I write down the poems and present in different, different kinds of shows Super.

Speaker 2:

What's one thing you wish your listeners knew about your business.

Speaker 3:
