Welcome to athlete and author, Eamon Wood

IC Sports Therapies welcomes Eamon to the team, as a provider of Assistive Technology through his company, Nudge Assist.

A childhood accident in Nelson, NZ, launched Eamon’s journey with adaptive living. He became the number one seed in the Kiwi men’s wheelchair tennis rankings, and represented his country on the men’s wheelchair basketball team, travelling the world.

At twenty-eight, he set off on an epic journey, with little more than his backpack, his guitar, and an open mind. He hitchhiked around New Zealand’s southern island. The travelling bug took him to the UK and the USA, then along the fjords and lakes of Europe. His journals became the book “A Backpack, a Chair and a Beard.” 

He then tackled engineering, crafting solutions for over a decade. Now, with 30+ years of experience “rolling around”, Eamon founded Nudge to use his unique perspective to empower individuals and communities.
