- Lower Back pain
- Hip & Pelvic girdle pain
- Knee & lower limb injuries
- Ankle/foot pain and lower limb biomechanics.
Jason has a particular interest in the management of acute lower back pain and the long term management of chronic low back pain disorders. The use of cognitive behavioral therapy, physiotherapy and exercise therapy are a combined approach which more and more research is finding has improved long term outcomes.
