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.

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.

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.

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 classes available at the clinic.

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.

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.

Our approach

At Hiya Health, sessions are built on listening first and understanding your child's story, challenges, and goals before tailoring a personalised plan that reflects their life. The team uses modern, evidence-based treatments combined with genuine care, focusing on collaborative practice where physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists and other specialists work together. Sessions are designed to empower children with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their health, with a commitment to supporting not just recovery but long-term strength, independence, and quality of life. The approach emphasises practical, individualised programming tailored to each child's needs and regularly updated as they progress.

Working with families

The team works closely with you and your family as part of your child's care journey, collaborating to understand your goals and build plans together. Communication with parents and carers is central to the approach, and the clinic involves families in decision-making about treatment and progress. The team also works with other care providers, doctors, specialists, and support networks to ensure seamless, coordinated care for your child.
