About Jackson Lennan

WHO AM I AND WHAT DO I DO? I have been a PT for 12 years and in that time I pride myself on the fact that I have never stopped learning and relearning. I did my degree in Musculoskeletal therapy (MST) over 6.5years part time, fitting in classes and clinics between my PT sessions. It was around the same time that I first came across Ido Portal on YouTube (training on the road) and so started my obsession. Endless hours of rewatching videos to try and learn different movements that I thought looked the coolest. In January of 2015 I did my first workshop with Ido and his team - Movement X in Brisbane and then started online coaching with him later that year. My MST studies and training around 20 hours per week to START to learn the movement basics tied in together perfectly as I developed my own movement first approach to all of my clinic treatments. Towards the end of my MST studies I was introduced to the functional medicine world and started following the works of Chris Kresser and Dr Mark Hyman. From here I adopted the 4 pillar framework - Movement, nutrition, sleep and stress management. It was soon after I finished my degree that I stopped almost all ‘hands on treatments’ with people as I was sick of the responsibility shift associated with people coming to see me to ‘fix’ them. more on this another time. Now I educate others on each of the 4 pillars with an emphasis of a movement first approach. My goal for all I come into contact with is for them to build a daily movement practice (whatever that looks like for them) and then from here start to introduce the other pillars. What do I do? I provoke change by empowering others through education so THEY can live their best life.
