Our Staff
Dr. Jason Jan Brieva
Physical Therapist
PT, DPT
I am a Southern California native from West Covina. I attended Cal State Fullerton to earn my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and graduated in 2016. I took a 5-year gap and worked as an aide during that time to help pay for my school loans. I pursued my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Western University of Health Sciences in Oregon, where I was honored to be part of the inaugural class.
I was able to have three clinical rotation experiences where I worked at Concentra, Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, and California Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy.
One of my core values is resilience. I believe in never giving up, no matter how challenging things may seem. I trust that everything happens for a reason, and it’s up to us to shape our response. Always believe in yourself, understand your worth, and keep moving forward. I always believe in taking responsibility for your actions and striving for quality and continuous improvement in whatever you do.
“We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”
Starting as an aide and having the experience in my clinical rotations, I have always had a love and passion for working in Orthopedic Rehab. I also have an interest in working with patients that have neurological conditions as well. Right now I feel like a sponge, and I am open to helping in any way that I can.
Something that has really caught my attention during my clinical rotations is motivational interviewing. I would like to incorporate it into my practice, in which it is a person-centered style designed to support the individual in discovering their motivation for change. By actively listening to my patient’s wants and needs, I will help empower people to overcome barriers and make meaningful, self-directed choices towards their goals.
I really enjoy treating the geriatric population. I believe that getting up to move is essential to living a better life, and finding their motivation is something I strive for. I enjoy working with any musculoskeletal conditions!
I really like the sense of family that this company has. Ever since I was interviewed for the position, I felt a sense of belonging. Work-life balance is something I really look for, and this company has nailed it out of the park. I really enjoy the team bonding!
What is Dr. Jason Watching, Reding or Listening To?
- I really enjoy watching Mukbangs and Vlogs on Youtube. It gives me creative ideas of what to eat and things to buy.
- Grey’s Anatomy is something I can always rewatch and the drama gets me every single time.
- I am a big Harry Potter fan as well!
When I am not working, I really enjoy cooking or baking. I get a lot of inspiration when I am scrolling online and it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I am able to make my own meals. I like going to the gym, playing volleyball, and playing pickleball. I enjoy spending my time playing with my toy poodle Bella! Most of all, I love spending time with my friends to help decompress!
