Jo Chapple is an experienced and enthusiastic Musculoskeletal and Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. For over twenty years she has been resolutely committed to making a real and meaningful difference through her work, with the spirit of empowerment embedded in her style.  These values were established early in her career. When working in the NHS in the UK Jo became fascinated in the disparity between common popular beliefs (around health, movement and pain) versus what the evidence base suggests. From these beginnings Jo’s appreciation of a biopsychosocial approach grew. From public to private sector work, from the UK to Ireland where she later settled, Jo eventually set up her own Physiotherapy clinic in 2009. Jo’s specialist areas of interest include pain (especially back pain and pelvic girdle pain), pre- and postnatal Physiotherapy and women’s pelvic health. In 2019 Jo began her work as an educator and teaching assistant with Antony Lo and is increasingly involved in the mentorship of other Physiotherapists and fitness professionals.  She is enthusiastic about sport, exercise and fitness. She is a qualified Pilates instructor, but also enjoys running, CrossFit, yoga and climbing and messing around with her three kids.

Teresa Waser is a physiotherapist and educator who is driven to help healthcare and fitness professionals reignite their curiosity, challenge what they believe, and strive towards a truly biopsychosocial approach. She developed TIIPPSS-FC, a framework to empower clinicians and fit pros in helping those experiencing pain, pelvic health issues, and/or performance goals. Her clinic, RX Physiotherapy, is located within a CrossFit gym in Leduc, Canada, where she works as an orthopedic and pelvic health physiotherapist. Teresa blends her experience as physio, coach, and educator to guide people of all ages in achieving their goals in athletics and life. She has coached running, as well as CrossFit for kids through to older adults, and is a certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach. She is a mother of 3 (including twins) and loves lifting barbells and running trails.
