HAYDEN

Hayden is a Curtin University graduate and has completed his Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) as well as the ASCA Level 1 Strength & Conditioning coach qualification. Growing up, Hayden played a variety of sports including water polo, gymnastics, AFL, soccer, and even sailing. This has led him to his interest in all things sports-related, as well as health & fitness, nutrition, and in particular, strength and conditioning.

Hayden is also currently studying his Masters of Clinical Physiotherapy (Sports Major) at Curtin University part-time. As a part of his studies, he is conducting original research into the use of sensor-embedded mouthguard technology for detecting, assessing, and diagnosing sports-related concussion.

During the football season, Hayden works at South Fremantle Football Club as the U16’s Futures Academy Head Physiotherapist. He has also previously worked at Rostrata Rhinos Amateur Football Club as the team Physiotherapist.

Hayden also has a keen interest in gym-related pain, injuries, and rehabilitation. He has successfully worked with competitive body-builders, cross-fitters, and martial arts athletes, record-holding powerlifting athletes, and field-sports athletes such as AFL, rugby, hockey and soccer.

Given Hayden’s background in sports and strength & conditioning, he prides himself on his ability to combine hands-on treatment with active rehabilitation as needed. He also enjoys improving his patients’ understanding of their condition so they can take an active role in their treatment and management.

During Hayden’s spare time, you’ll find him practicing Jiu-Jitsu, spending time with his friends and family, or watching his beloved Fremantle Dockers on their journey to bringing home their first flag.
