He was also responsible for setting up exercise classes, tailoring home exercise programs and closely managing patients to improve pain and function.

Jack has also worked as a personal trainer where he developed his exercise prescription and delivery skills. His experience in strength and conditioning has given him the expertise to obtain great results during sports rehabilitation and performance optimisation, with an emphasis on injury prevention.
