Dr. Hayden Thayer
PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Hayden Thayer is a physical therapist from the close-knit community of Sun Valley, Idaho, where his love for the outdoors took root early on. Passionate about skiing, mountain biking, and exploring the surrounding wilderness, Hayden has always sought ways to combine his personal interests with his professional journey. He earned his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he also played club lacrosse, and later completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Utah.
Since finishing his education, Hayden has worked as a travel physical therapist in various orthopedic clinics, where he’s helped athletes of all levels recover and return to their passions of choice. His particular interest in ACL rehabilitation stems from personal experience, as close family and friends have faced ACL injuries—an experience that initially inspired him to pursue physical therapy as a career.
Outside of his work, Hayden enjoys staying active in the gym, planning the next big ski trip, and discovering new trails and local burrito spots with his partner, Meg, and their golden retriever, Buck.
