At Hiya Health, we’re passionate about making movement engaging and accessible - because building physical capacity doesn’t always have to feel clinical. Sometimes, it’s about creating an environment where people can move with confidence, enjoyment, and a sense of connection.

If you're looking for an allied health provider who makes therapy fun and engaging, whilst supporting you with your goals, get in touch.

Come along for a mic’d up session with our Exercise Physiologist Bree from the Sunnybank clinic and her client Gus 🎤🏃‍♂️

Gus is an absolute park run weapon, regularly topping his age group and setting the pace every race. When he’s not flying through 5ks, he’s in the clinic putting in the work with Bree to stay strong, resilient, and ready for the next run.

Expect hard work, plenty of laughs, and top-tier banter along the way. Gus brings the effort, Bree brings the challenge - and together they make every session count.

Stay tuned to see how the session unfolds 👀💪

Behind every good rehab or performance program is objective data. 📊💪

At Hiya Health, our clinicians use a range of VALD performance testing equipment to accurately measure strength, track progress and guide rehabilitation or training programs.

Using tools like the VALD ForceFrame, VALD Dynamo and VALD ForceDecks, we can assess things like:
✔️ Full body strength
✔️ Full body range of motion
✔️ Limb asymmetries
✔️ Force production and power
✔️ Movement and balance during functional tasks

These tools allow our Physios and Exercise Physiologists to move beyond guesswork. Instead, we can measure exactly where you’re at, identify imbalances, and track improvements over time.

Whether you’re rehabbing an injury, returning to sport, or looking to improve performance, this testing helps ensure your program is tailored to your body and progressing safely.

📈 Better data → better decisions → better outcomes.

If you’re interested in strength or performance testing, our team would love to help.

Last month, two of our clinicians had the pleasure of presenting at a Raising Mamas group, chatting with local mums about postnatal pelvic health and returning to exercise safely after birth.

We covered some of the topics many women experience but don’t always feel comfortable talking about - including bladder leakage, abdominal separation (DRAM), constipation, diaphragmatic breathing and how to approach a safe, supervised return to exercise after pregnancy.

Education and early support can make a huge difference to how women recover and feel in their bodies postpartum. It was a privilege to share practical tips, answer questions and help empower these mamas with knowledge about their pelvic health.

Thank you to the Raising Mamas community for having us - we love being part of conversations that support women through every stage of motherhood 💛

Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy Tips for runners 🏃‍♀️

DO ✅ – Strengthen the tendon (this is key!)

1️⃣ Start with ISOMETRICS
Exercises where the muscle contracts without moving the joint (e.g. glute bridge holds). This helps reduce pain and start loading the tendon safely.

2️⃣ Progress to ECCENTRICS
Slowly lengthening the muscle under load (e.g. slow lowering hamstring exercises).
This helps rebuild tendon strength and tolerance to load.

3️⃣ Progress to ISOTONIC / DYNAMIC STRENGTH
Controlled strengthening through full movement (e.g. RDLs, hamstring curls).
This prepares the tendon for running, sprinting and higher loads.

⚠️ Remember:
Tendons often feel better while you’re exercising. But if pain is worse later that day or the next morning, you probably did too much.

DON’T ❌

🚫 Foam roll directly on the tendon
Tendons don’t like direct compression, which can irritate it further.

🚫 Avoid hamstring stretching
An aggravated tendon is often made worse by stretching the hamstring.

🚫 Limit prolonged sitting
The one thing tendons hate more than being stretched is being compressed.
If you have a desk job, stand up and move regularly.

💡 Patience is key - tendons adapt slowly, but they respond well to the right loading.

Hiya Health Explains: Do I still need physio after a C-section?

It’s a common myth that if you’ve had a C-section, recovery is just about letting the scar heal.

A C-section is actually major abdominal surgery, and it affects much more than just the skin. Your abdominal muscles, core function and pelvic floor are all impacted.

Physiotherapy can help support your recovery by guiding safe return to exercise, rebuilding core strength, managing scar tissue, and addressing issues like back pain, pelvic floor symptoms or abdominal separation.

So no, recovery after a C-section isn’t just about waiting it out - the right support can make a big difference in how you move and feel.

If you’ve had a C-section and want guidance returning to exercise or rebuilding strength, our women’s health physio team at Hiya Health can help.

Hiya Health Explains: Can I exercise with a heart condition?

It’s a common myth that if you have a heart condition, you should avoid exercise altogether.

In reality, for many people, the right type of exercise can be an important part of managing heart health. Research shows that appropriately prescribed exercise can help improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, energy levels and overall quality of life.

The key is making sure your exercise program is tailored to your condition, current fitness level, and medical advice.

So no, having a heart condition doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop exercising - it means exercising safely and with the right guidance.

If you’ve been unsure about what exercise is safe for you, our exercise physiology team can help design a program that supports your heart health and confidence with movement.
