At a ripe old age of 13, a young, energetic Jason knew he was destined for a career in physiotherapy. His passion for sports and the opportunity to work with his hands, all while applying his detective-like problem solving skills, made physiotherapy the perfect fit.

Jason first completed his Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick in 2001, which propelled him to attend the University of Dalhousie. Here, he successfully completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy, while achieving the Jean McAllouny award for an Outstanding Clinical Placement.

Following graduation, Jason’s love of the mountains and adventure relocated him to Vancouver BC where he continued to grow as a young physiotherapist. He involved himself in the Orthopaedic Division of Manual Therapy, completing Level 3. As well, he achieved certification in the Gunn Method of Intramuscular Stimulation (dry needling). In 2009, Jason began working with Dr. Linda-Joy Lee, PhD, BSc., BSc(PT), FCAMT, at SynergyPHYSIO. Under her mentorship, he trained and later worked as a teacher assistant in the Integrative Systems Model (Lee & Lee) and Connect Therapy (Lee).

Clinically, Jason enjoys working with a wide range of clients. He draws clinical experience from working with high performance and recreational athletes looking for an edge, to people suffering from chronic pain or failed rehab, who are looking for solutions. Jason has a deep understanding of all the different layers of the body, their interconnections and how the body moves as a whole. As a result, he offers a very cliented centered and outcome driven approach to his practice.

Since relocating with his young family to Nelson in 2017, Jason can be seen outside enjoying the fresh mountain air in all its beautiful seasons and all the dynamic liveliness nature brings.
