About Stephen Hayward

Stephen is an HCPC registered physiotherapist providing private home physiotherapy across County Durham and Teesside. His background combines musculoskeletal rehabilitation, sports injury care, occupational health, return-to-work planning and post-operative recovery.

He has worked in professional sport as Head Physiotherapist at Hartlepool United Football Club and Featherstone Rovers Rugby League, alongside roles in occupational health, first-contact physiotherapy, prison healthcare and military rehabilitation. That breadth is useful for home visits because treatment often needs to connect pain, strength, work demands, confidence, walking and everyday function.

Stephen supports adults who need practical rehabilitation at home after injury, surgery, a period of reduced mobility, a flare of back or neck pain, a sports injury or a work-related musculoskeletal problem. Assessments are tailored to the person, the home environment and the goal: walking more confidently, returning to work, managing stairs, rebuilding strength or getting back to sport and daily activity.
