Physio+10 focuses on the journeys of trailblazing Physiotherapists and today's conversation is with Dr Ebonie Rio. Ebonie started her journey after completing an undergraduate degree in human movements, before starting her Physiotherapy degree. Breaking her wrist 4 times gave her an insider understanding of what Physiotherapy involved.
In my conversation with Ebonie I learned;
- About her personal tip to be 'ridiculously persistent' in regards to following your dream,
- That strengthening a tendon isn't enough in the rehabilitation process,
- That tendons are picky about what sort of load they respond to, and
- Her thoughts on the strengths of our profession

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
