Jason is passionate about helping people to enjoy movement and to build confidence in what their body is capable of doing. His areas of clinical interest include oncology, mental health, persisting pain and fatigue, as well as other complex chronic health issues. 

Outside of work, Jason enjoys getting out into nature, cycling, running and kite surfing. He is also a big fan of "The Simpsons", taking any opportunity to slip an obscure quote into everyday conversation.
