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
