When an elderly parent or loved one experiences an injury or illness, recovery can be challenging — especially at home. Regaining confidence, mobility, and strength takes time, patience, and the right support. For families, it can be hard to balance safety with independence, and to know when to step in or step back.
That’s where The Mobile Physio makes an incredible difference. By bringing expert rehabilitation directly into clients’ homes, they remove the barriers of travel and accessibility — ensuring older people receive the professional care they need, where they feel most comfortable.
At Home Carers, we share the same philosophy: that recovery works best when it happens in a familiar, supportive environment. Together, The Mobile Physio and Home Carers help older New Zealanders recover safely, maintain strength, and continue doing what they love, with dignity and confidence.

- Post-Surgery Rehabilitation — Helping clients safely regain strength, flexibility, and confidence after hospital stays or joint replacements.
- Balance & Fall Prevention — Focused exercises that improve stability and reduce the risk of future falls.
- In-Home Mobility Assessments — Identifying obstacles around the home and suggesting adjustments for safety and comfort.
- Strength & Endurance Training — Gentle, progressive exercises to restore function and independence.
- Chronic Condition Support — Tailored movement plans for those managing arthritis, stroke recovery, or neurological conditions.

Each session is designed to fit comfortably into the person’s lifestyle, helping them move forward with renewed strength, confidence, and independence.
How Home Carers Complements Their Work
While The Mobile Physio focuses on restoring physical function, Home Carers provides the compassionate, day-to-day support that makes recovery possible. Our carers can assist with transport, meal preparation, medication reminders, and emotional encouragement — ensuring each physiotherapy plan is supported at every step.
For example, our carers often help clients follow through with their home exercise programmes between physiotherapy visits, providing motivation and gentle guidance to stay on track. We also ensure their environment is safe and conducive to movement — removing trip hazards, keeping pathways clear, and offering a steady hand when needed.
Together, The Mobile Physio and Home Carers create a seamless circle of care: professional rehabilitation paired with practical, compassionate in-home support. It’s a partnership that helps older New Zealanders rebuild strength, confidence, and independence — one step at a time.
