About Jason

Jason Clarke is a Senior Physiotherapist with extensive experience treating all musculoskeletal conditions, with a particular interest in spinal conditions, persistent pain and complex presentations.

He holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science and a Master of Physiotherapy, and is currently completing a Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy.
