Physio+10 focuses on trailblazing Physiotherapists  and this conversation with Dr Jo Milios is an absolute corker. Jo’s career started in the dance and yoga spheres but a spinal condition closed this door. As so often happens it also opened another door of opportunity. Lead by curiosity and by funnelling her creativity, Jo moved into and it could be said, created a completely new realm of Physiotherapy services - that being Men’s Health.

In this conversation with Jo we learn;

• The benefit of curiosity
• Be willing to say yes and step outside of the current box
• The importance of seeking out new experiences and honing in on those that excite you
• If you can’t find something, adapt known knowledge and create it yourself
• Links between hard (penile) health and heart health
