Interests
Jason is a former international gymnast and Great Britain Sports Aerobics Champion. He retired from gymnastics in 2000, as reigning GB champion to return to his real passion; Shaolin Kung Fu.
Today, he continues to compete in Shaolin Wushu Kung Fu, and is the former UK Wushu Open Traditional Weapons Champion, UK Shaolin Long Weapons Champion, and two-time European Shaolin Champion.
He developed an interest in knees after injuring his own in 1999; an injury that required surgery. After returning to international competition, Jason started to develop his assessment and treatment skills around the knee – something that led him to work alongside Mr Michael Radford, Orthopaedic Consultant Knee Specialist. He has since developed the knee service at Weston General Hospital, alongside Mr Radford, playing a key role around ligament reconstruction. Further to this, Jason has been asked to work alongside two hip consultants, Mr Mark Price and Mr Koye Odutola, as their Extended Scope Practitioner, to help develop the hip and lower limb service at Weston General Hospital.
