Jason was born in New York and raised in Taiwan until the age of nine, before moving to California where he later earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Biology at the University of California, Davis. He went on to receive his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, California, in 2011. Since then, Jason has worked extensively in outpatient orthopedic settings, gaining experience with a wide range of patients and conditions.
Jason has developed a special interest in working with:
- Athletes seeking optimal performance
- Patients with orthopedic issues such as back, neck, shoulder, knee, and hip problems
- Patients with vestibular dysfunction
- Individuals with chronic pain syndromes
- Elderly patients who want to slow the degenerative aging process through exercise and holistic lifestyle changes
Having spent nearly a decade of his childhood in Taiwan, Jason was exposed early on to traditional Chinese healing practices such as gua sha, cupping, moxibustion, and qi gong. After moving to Hawai‘i in 2013, he discovered a meaningful niche in serving Honolulu’s Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking communities. Recognizing that many of these patients were underserved due to limited resources and language barriers, Jason has made it part of his mission to raise awareness of the benefits of physical therapy and provide care that is both accessible and culturally sensitive.
With over a decade of clinical experience, Jason approaches treatment with an open mind and a blended perspective, drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions. While he incorporates techniques like gua sha and cupping when appropriate, his foundation remains grounded in evidence-based, Western physical therapy practices. This balanced approach allows him to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each patient.
Outside of the clinic, Jason enjoys working out, playing basketball, training jiu jitsu, spending time outdoors, experimenting with health and wellness practices, and most of all, being with his wife and two sons. He is also fluent in Mandarin.
