🚀 Excited to share some key insights from my conversation with Maathu Pranavan on the latest episode of the Practiceology podcast: “How to Acquire New Patients Using Facebook Ads”.
Maathu, a physio grad turned marketing expert, is on a mission to help allied health clinic owners take the guesswork and stress out of patient acquisition—and his approach is refreshingly practical.
Here are 3 key takeaways for health business owners looking to level up their marketing results:
Go from Generalist to Specialist
Stop listing every service you provide on social media. Instead, focus your message on solving ONE specific problem for ONE ideal patient group—like “desk workers with neck pain.” This targeted approach cuts through the noise and attracts high-quality patients.
Stop Relying on Unpredictable Word-of-Mouth
Most clinics rely on word-of-mouth, but that’s not a strategy—it’s a gamble. Maathu’s system uses Facebook ads plus an automated chatbot to genuinely generate and nurture leads, so your calendar fills up consistently.
Avoid the Common DIY Pitfalls
Boosting posts, hiring generalists, or forgetting to follow up leave money on the table. Real growth comes from tailored campaigns, compliance with industry rules, and a clear patient follow-up system.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
