Jason Maxworthy
Jason Maxworthy, PhysiotherapistJason is a passionate sports fan, in particular soccer and cricket, and has been playing for his local clubs for over 20 years. This passion and enjoyment for sport led him to becoming a Physiotherapist, to help others recover and get back into their sport as soon as possible. He has been treating a variety of patients for over 9 years now and has a real interest in knee and ankle injuries.
Lisa Barnes, Remedial Massage TherapistLisa is an ex Commonwealth and Olympic games gymnast who has been involved in sport for most of her life as a competitor, coach or judge. She completed a Human Movement degree & Diploma of Education and was a PDHPE teacher for over 15 years. She is still heavily involved with primary school PE programs and has a Certificate IV in Massage Practice.
Nicki Cooke, Principal TherapistNicki has a passion for making people better. Using remedial, sports and lymphatic drainage massage, and combining her personal sporting experience and training, and over 25 years in practice, she is able to assist people to recover more quickly than is usually expected.
Stephen Cooke, Practice ManagerSteve has over 40 years experience creating and supporting IT and business systems. He holds two Bachelors degrees from the University of Waikato in New Zealand, majoring in English, Demography and Computer Science.
His responsibilities include administration, web site, blog, social media, online stores, and the IT systems for IC Sports Therapies.
As Inaugural President of a new brand of cricket for kids with disability, Nicki developed health and first aid policy, and liaised with Cricket NSW.

Wheelchair Sport
Since 1998 Nicki has provided remedial massage, sports injury therapy and first response to athletes with disability. With experience at Olympic, Paralympic and World Cup level, Nicki has also travelled to Paris for the French Open (Wheelchair) Tennis, and worked with the WheelBlacks and Australian Steelers at International level.
Rehabilitation
The last 20% of recovery from injury, accident or illness takes 80% of the time and effort. It is challenging for therapists and frustrating for clients. Often a cheerful word and a fun approach to rehab helps to change mindsets and break down psychological barriers to progress. Research in neuroplasticity cause and effect has resulted in significant improvements for clients.
Masters Sport
Working with Masters Athletes requires a lateral approach, and Nicki feels that athletes at elite level in Masters sport have the most to gain from her experience. Usually therapists aspire to work with young elite athletes so Masters is an area with a paucity of therapy options. Thus she has found a willing and motivated group.

Indoor Cricket
Both N.Z. and Australia have benefited from Nicki’s care. In South Africa in 2011, for Opens, and Masters Gold Coast for Australia, the teams under her watchful eye made a clean sweep of all 5 grades.
The N.Z. teams at Masters level took bronze, silver and gold in South Africa in 2013, and their Over 40 Men’s Team took Silver in the 2015 Australian Masters Championships.
Nicki Cooke went to Adelaide for the 2019 Australian Indoor Cricket Masters Championships, as Team Therapist for the New Zealand Central and Northern masters sides.

Treats the root cause of problems rather than the symptoms
Nicki’s knowledge of the muscular make up of the human body is incredible – she treats the root cause of the problems rather than the symptoms, which has meant that I have not missed a single day of cricket for the last 3 years. (Updated 28/7/16) …and ten years later, Continue Reading
I love this photo of Nicki and Declan with the beautiful paintings by Leeanne. Nicki thank you for being an amazing friend for over 20 years. Thank you for going above and beyond in treating Declan’s chronic pain. And for all the hours and hours of research you have done Continue Reading
After undergoing major knee reconstruction, I believed I would never play soccer again. When a friend recommended Nicki, I was reluctant at first to reconsider playing. Now, I’m going really well! Have had no major issues, playing soccer and skiing without any problems with legs since beginning of the year.
