What Hiya helps with

Physiotherapy

Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.

Exercise Physiology

Structured, evidence-based exercise programs designed and supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist to improve physical health, manage chronic conditions and support disability. For children it can target motor development; for adults it often addresses pain, metabolic conditions and mental health.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Dietetics

Evidence-based assessment and advice from an Accredited Practising Dietitian on food, nutrition and eating behaviours. For children, this often covers fussy eating, growth concerns, food allergies and healthy development; for adults it covers medical nutrition management and general health.

Hydrotherapy

Therapeutic exercises performed in a heated pool under the supervision of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. The water's buoyancy reduces joint stress and allows movement that may be difficult on land, making it beneficial for children and adults with physical disability, chronic pain or low muscle tone.

Reformer Pilates

Group reformer pilates classes available at the clinic.

Telehealth

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Home Visits

Therapy or support delivered in the client's home or community setting rather than in a clinic. This approach allows therapists to work within the real environment where skills need to be applied, which can lead to more practical, lasting outcomes.

Golf Strength Training

Specialized golf exercise physiology service designed to improve mobility, strength, and power for golfers.

Our approach

Sessions are evidence-based and tailored to your child's individual needs and goals. The team takes time to listen to your child's story and challenges, then builds a personalised plan that reflects their life rather than just focusing on diagnosis. Treatment combines modern, scientifically-backed methods with genuine care, using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities across the clinic. The approach is collaborative, linking different clinicians together to give the best outcomes. Beyond recovery, the focus is on supporting your child to maintain strength, independence, and quality of life long-term.

Working with families

The clinic works closely with families as part of a whole-person approach to care. Your child's treatment plan is developed collaboratively with you and your family, ensuring it fits your life and goals. The team communicates with families to ensure they understand the therapy and can support their child's progress at home. The service is designed to be family-centred, recognising that parents and carers are essential partners in helping your child recover and thrive long-term. Regular updates on progress mean your family stays involved and informed throughout the therapy journey.
