Jackson is a very talented Physio from the beautiful countryside of Armidale. He was determined to fulfill his dream of becoming a Physiotherapist so moved to Newcastle to study and graduated with a bachelor of physiotherapy (honours)
From his own personal rehab journey he became fascinated by the spine and in particular the relationship between the spine and the neurological system.
His focus is everything spine! Specifically neck and headache treatment. Another key area he is interested in is disc bulges and referred pain. He endeavours to understand the whole picture and to guide and facilitate a holistic approach to help achieve his patients goals.
Jackson is fantastic with clients who have recurring pain as he really works hard to get to the root cause of the pain. He truly believes “movement is medicine” so he has a strong focus on exercise therapy.
He loves working with patients pre or post op surgery guiding them through every step of the rehab process.
When he isn’t fixing spines he enjoys snowboarding, strength training and keeping active.
