Michael Hayden, PT

Mike understands body mechanics . As a multidisciplinary therapist myself I recognized immediately Mike’s level of expertise and he put my son back on the road to recovery and the field much faster !

Mike looked at my body, particularly my low back, and immediately figured out what was going on. Not just for what I came in for, but for a problem going back decades and which had never been correctly diagnosed, by half a dozen different physicians and physical therapists. It's been a long road since then but I'm in so much better shape than when I first saw Mike. I'm in a different part of the country now and my current Physical Therapist is also trained by Institute for Physical Art, as is Mike. Their methods appear unorthodox but they really do work, and I think they are based on sound principles.

Mike has closed his Macon office so now my wife and I will make the 2 hr drive to Athens to see Mike. There is no one like him

My family and friends have used him for years. His approach is unusual and always gives positive results!

I've seen Mike several times for back, shoulder and knees. I think he's great. He diagnosed me quickly and prescribed exercises that gave me immediate relief. I highly recommend him and trust him completely.

He kept telling my mother her hips were out of line and not to go to anyone else because he would 'Fix' her. My father and I were asking her to get additional tests done. He told my mother that she could get them done but all it would do is 'shut your husband and wife up.' Thanks. She has brain and bone cancer.

He has specific training in Manual Manipulation. He works on you for 15-20 minutes and he's done. His goal is to fix it and get you doing exercises so you won't have to come back. I rarely have to go back a second time for the same thing.
