Nick Kane is the Founder and Director of the Sports MAP Network. He developed his expertise as a Sports Physiotherapist over more than a decade in professional sport, including 10 years with the Essendon Football Club in the AFL—five of which he served as Lead Physiotherapist.

Throughout his career, Nick has been driven by a consistent pursuit of improving his craft in order to provide the highest standard of care for the athletes he works with. His time in the elite sports environment offered invaluable learning opportunities, particularly via obtaining a second opinion on certain cases from world-renowned experts such as Enda King, Jill Cook, Peter Malliaras, Alex Kountouris, and Craig Purdam to name a few. These experiences were instrumental in accelerating his professional growth by seeing how these clinicians clinical reason and rehabilitate athletes. 

Motivated to share this level of learning with the broader physiotherapy community, Nick launched the Sports MAP Masterclass—a platform designed to take clinicians 'into the room' with expert clinicians to practical, clinically relevant education and insights in an engaging and easily digestible video content.

Nick holds a Master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy from La Trobe University and a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Notre Dame University in Fremantle. His clinical interests focus on hip and groin pain, soft tissue injuries, and tendon-related conditions. Nick is known for his systematic approach to injury prevention and rehabilitation, ensuring integration and alignment across all departments within a sporting organization. He currently consults through Nick Kane Sports Rehabilitation.
