SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J.--Dr.Suresh Babu spent much time and energy creating his logo for his practice, Innovative Physical Therapy and Fitness Center, which represents his commitment to hands on caring of each and every patient. His objective is to present patients with the reassurance that he is treating not just athletes and or those who are sports minded but people of all ages including the elderly. Dr. Babu whose clients often times call him “ Dr. Innovative “, is highly trained in spine rehabilitation and manipulation, peripheral joint mobilization, fascia realignment and techniques that are unique to his practice.
Dr. Suresh Babu had aspirations to become a pilot and perhaps a director in the entertainment business.
Suresh‘ s parents were not happy about these notions and hoped he would become a doctor. At some point, Suresh, who always loved sports and he himself played center on a volleyball team, began to lean towards a career in sports physical therapy, now evolving into his own innovative physical therapy practice.
Dr. Babu is a Board Certified Physical Therapist with over 14 years’ experience. While his practice is all inclusive, servicing all ages and conditions, there are some things that make his practice unique. One way in which Dr. Babu’s practice is unique is that Dr. Babu treats spinal conditions, often not considered in a physical therapy practice. Dr. Babu’s practice is not one where the patient comes in, does some exercises and massage, and then leaves.
Rather, Dr. Babu, aside from the more traditional physical and occupational therapies, incorporates innovative techniques such as Robotic Physical Therapy, Redcord Neurac Zero Gravity Therapy, Graston Technique, and Kinesio Taping Methods.
What is Robotic Physical Therapy? The patient wears the AlterG Bionic Leg which provides an initiated motor assist during sit to stand exercises, over ground walking and stair climbing.
What about Redcord Neurac Zero Gravity Therapy? By using slings and bungee cords, the patient is able to perform exercises in a “zero-gravity” environment.
The Graston Technique allows the therapist to introduce a controlled amount of micro trauma into a specific area, invoke an inflammatory response which will augment the healing process.
Dr. Babu also is trained in using the Kinesio Taping Method which applies Kinesio Tape in a specific manner to create change in the circulatory, lymphatic, neural, muscular systems as well as the joints.
Suresh Babu is a Doctor of Physical Therapy graduating from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, and holds a Masters of Science in Orthopedics and Sports Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac University. His goal with all his patients is to provide each person with the highest standard of care and cutting-edge techniques that can maximize the body’s ability to move, heal and perform at an optimal level.
Dr. Babu has opened his new center at 3562 Route 27 Suite 124 in Kendall Park, South Brunswick Township, while maintaining his second site in Edison, NJ. The new site will be more of a gym setting incorporating over 5000 square feet.

HOWELL, N.J. Robin Eccleston knows that if you want to get results, you’ve got to put in the work. That’s what he’s been doing his entire life, from his time serving in the Navy to working in the corporate world to today, as he runs his very own business – Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning in Monmouth and Ocean County.
A native of Long Island who has always had a love for the beach and the ocean, Robin joined the United States Navy right after high school and served as Quartermaster with the submarine force.
After serving four years both above and below the waves, Robin spent over three decades working in the telecommunications industry for two different corporations. During that time, he also completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Throughout his career in the corporate world, Mr. Eccleston always focused on providing his clients with the highest level of customer service.
Eventually, though, Robin wanted to strike out on his own – to take control of his future as an entrepreneur. The idea of franchising appealed to him, and so he began researching various franchise organizations and the opportunities they offered.
After doing his research, the brand that best appealed to Robin’s business acumen and commitment to customer service was Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning. As part of his decision making, Robin actually went out with the carpet cleaning techs to see the process first hand.
He found their low moisture carpet cleaning technique got amazing results while also drying fast – often in just one hour. This, combined with Oxi Fresh’s technology platform and support systems, led Robin to purchase his franchise one year ago. Now that he has got a good rhythm, he is looking to grow and expand his business.
Robin’s number one objective is customer satisfaction, no matter what it takes. He understands the importance of establishing trust with his clients, especially when going into a person’s home. Customers can trust him to provide exceptional Monmouth carpet cleaning services that elevate both the cleanliness and comfort of their homes.
Robin is proud of the results he’s providing customers, and he’s looking to help more and more clients by expanding his business. As of now, most of Robin’s customers are located in the Monmouth and Ocean County areas. He primarily offers carpet cleaning services, but he also does upholstery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, and odor elimination services for both residential and commercial clients.
Some of Robin’s clients are apartment complexes, which have long-term contracts. In addition, there are on-going contracts for office-maintenance. One of Robin’s clients, located in Spring Lake, NJ, is a shipping and receiving firm with 800-900 square feet of high traffic carpeting that needs service every six months.
One major advantage Robin offers his clients is a low moisture Monmouth County carpet cleaning process. Unlike a steam cleaner, which requires roughly 40-60 gallons of water to clean a home, Oxi Fresh needs only two gallons of water. This means dry times are reduced from 12-24 hours to just about one hour.
That’s excellent news for businesses such as hotels, offices, and restaurants who need quick turnaround times. For example, as Robin told www.njnewjersey.com reporters, hotels need rooms cleaned and ready for guests within a few hours. Oxi Fresh makes that possible without sacrificing quality.
In addition to all this, this Monmouth County carpet cleaning is very eco-friendly and safe for children and pets. It conserves water, saves energy, and relies on green carpet cleaning products that are very effective and very safe.
Robin is thrilled to offer these green, fast-drying cleanings to his clients, and he knows that they will love the results. After all, as a brand, Oxi Fresh has a world-class service record of 4.6 stars out of 5 stars, a score derived from over 137K reviews.
“Look for the blue truck with bubbles and know that our business will handle your request with the utmost professional courtesy, respect for you and your property, reasonable cost, and 100% satisfaction of a job well-done.”
Please Call 732-835-2300 and or check out Oxi Fresh’s comprehensive website at www.oxifresh.com for more information.
