• Our approach

  MOVEability offers fun, tailored physiotherapy sessions delivered in clinic, home, or school settings as appropriate to each child's needs. The approach focuses on improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress toward developmental milestones, with goal setting done collaboratively with families and children. Sessions are flexible and adapt to different environments—from parks and studios to pools and home spaces—depending on what works best for the individual child. All therapists are passionate about making therapy engaging and enjoyable while addressing the specific developmental and physical needs of each young person.

• Working with families

  Communication and collaboration with families are central to the approach, with goal setting done collaboratively between the therapist, child, and parents. Parents receive frequent updates and check-ins on their child's progress, and the team actively shares excitement about their child's achievements. Home exercise programs are developed together with families, and therapists adapt strategies based on the child's personality, fears, and strengths. Hayley manages everything behind the scenes with efficiency and responsive communication, making the entire process easy for families.

• Your first visit

  The initial assessment is thorough and uses evidence-based measurement tools to understand your child's needs. Hayley or the assigned physiotherapist listens carefully, observes your child, and works collaboratively with your family to establish goals for therapy input.

The therapist explains what they are trying to achieve and why, creating a clear pathway forward for your child's care and support.
