Hayden is a dedicated physiotherapist based in Auckland. He graduated from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy in 2017 and later completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Biomechanics and Rehabilitation at AUT. With over eight years of experience across various healthcare settings, Hayden has supported countless patients recovering from sports injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions. He takes a highly personalised approach, combining thorough assessments, manual therapy, tailored exercise prescription, and clear, in-depth patient education to help people truly understand their diagnosis and the root causes of their injuries. Hayden is especially passionate about empowering his clients by explaining why injuries occur and how to prevent them, enabling his patients to return to what they love stronger and more confident.

A recent success story: A 32-year-old semi-pro netballer came to Hayden after her third ankle sprain in 18 months. The constant pain and fear of re-injury meant she was missing games, dropping out of club training, and losing confidence on court. Hayden sat with her for an extended session, using simple diagrams and video analysis to explain exactly why her ankle kept rolling: poor hip control, weak glute medius, and years of landing with knees caving in. Together they corrected the root causes with targeted exercises, movement analysis, and sport-specific drills. Six weeks later, she was back playing pain-free, trusting her ankle again, and even helping coach her teammates on injury prevention. She told Hayden, “For the first time, I actually understand my body.”

Outside the clinic, Hayden continues his passion for empowering people through his own business, Reform Fitness Onehunga - a Reformer Pilates studio that focuses on helping people achieve their fitness goals, improve balance, strength, and long-term resilience. He is also a keen sportsman who has played many sports at a high level himself, bringing real-world insight and genuine empathy to every athlete he treats.
