Hayden Tutbury

Hayden is a dedicated physiotherapist based in Auckland. He graduated from Auckland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy in 2017, and went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Biomechanics and Rehabilitation at AUT. With over eight years of experience across a range of healthcare settings, he has helped countless people recover from sports injuries, surgery and chronic conditions. He takes a highly personalised approach, combining a thorough assessment, manual therapy, tailored exercise and clear, in-depth education so people genuinely understand their diagnosis and what is driving their injury. He is especially keen on explaining why injuries happen and how to prevent them, so his clients get back 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 eighteen months. The constant pain and fear of re-injury meant she was missing games, dropping out of training and losing confidence on court. Hayden took an extended session to show her, with simple diagrams and video analysis, exactly why her ankle kept rolling: poor hip control, a weak glute medius, and years of landing with her 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. As she put it, for the first time she actually understood her body.

Outside the clinic, Hayden runs his own Reformer Pilates studio, Reform Fitness Onehunga, helping people build balance, strength and long-term resilience. He is a keen sportsman who has played many sports at a high level himself, which brings real-world insight and genuine empathy to every athlete he treats.
