Jason started Back In Motion Health Group from his garage in 1999. He now leads a team of more than 600 professionals in over 100 locations across Australia and New Zealand. He has made a career out of radically challenging the norm and pioneering fresh business paradigm. The results speak volumes. Jason was listed No.2 Top Franchise Executive in 2019 and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2013 for Services in the Southern region. And Back In Motion has become Australia’s largest and fastest growing provider of physiotherapy and related services – awarded the BRW Fast Franchise for five consecutive years.

Jason shares his vision, drive, and expertise through active leadership in peak bodies, community organisations, CEO groups, and special interest business forums in Australia and beyond. He sits on multiple corporate and NFP boards, and consults widely on leadership, strategy, and governance.

Passionate about the power of effective leadership, Jason established the Iceberg Leadership Institute in 2008. Thousands of aspiring and experienced professionals have benefited from his thought-provoking masterclasses and mentorship since its inception.

Jason’s first book, Get Yourself Back In Motion: a physiotherapist’s secrets to pain relief and optimal health (Global Publishing 2013), was an international best-seller. Empowering his readers to live at their physical best, the book stands in a class of its own as an essential medical resource in every home.

His second book, Outside-In Downside-Up Leadership: 50 insights from a true story of remarkable organisational change (Major Press 2018), chronicles a story of courageous innovation and leadership revolution. It has been an instant success with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and the leadership base who want to achieve more with their people.
