Rafi Salazar on Drop the Dis Podcast
Drop the Dis

So, every now and then, I do an interview that ends up falling outside of the usual “humanizing healthcare” discussion. I recently sat down with Chris and David from Drop the Dis, a podcast that explores cool things happening here in Augusta, GA. We’re not only the home of the Master’s Golf Tournament. The city has a lot going for it in the areas of cyber security and medical.

In this podcast interview, I discuss a bit about my journey into healthcare as a career field, as well as some of the work I’ve been blessed to be able to do as an OT, consultant, professor, and author. This was a fun conversation, and maybe it’ll shed a little light on why we do some of the things we do here at ProActive.

Are you dealing with pain?

We understand that struggling with the stress and strain of pain can be tough…Whether it’s waking up feeling stiff or severe tension after walking, running, or playing, no one wants to spend each day dealing with the soreness that pain brings. While many people choose surgery or injections for pain relief, at ProActive Rehabilitation & Wellness, we offer non-surgical therapies which prevents patients from going under the knife.
