When a loved one experiences dizziness, balance problems, or a neurological condition such as Parkinson’s or stroke, everyday life can suddenly feel uncertain. Families often find themselves worrying about falls, fatigue, or lost confidence. They do this while trying to help their parent stay safe and independent at home.
That’s where The Rehab Team steps in. Based in Tauranga, they provide expert neurological and vestibular physiotherapy. This is for people who want to rebuild balance, movement, and confidence — right in the comfort of their own homes.
At Home Carers, we share that same mission. We believe older people deserve care that helps them stay active and supported while feeling truly seen and valued. Together, The Rehab Team and Home Carers make daily life safer, calmer, and more empowering for older New Zealanders. Their families benefit too.

How The Rehab Team Supports Older People
When mobility, balance, or coordination begins to decline, it can affect not only physical safety but also confidence, independence, and overall wellbeing. The caring professionals at The Rehab Team specialise in helping older adults restore both movement and trust in their bodies. They guide recovery with patience, expertise, and empathy.
Their focus is on neurological and vestibular physiotherapy. This means they work with people experiencing dizziness, balance disorders, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other neurological conditions. These challenges can make even simple tasks — standing, walking, or turning — feel uncertain. The Rehab Team brings therapy directly to clients’ homes, making it easier for older adults to practise movement in familiar surroundings.
Their services include:
- Neurological rehabilitation that strengthens pathways between the brain and body to improve coordination, strength, and control.
- Vestibular therapy to reduce dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness through targeted balance exercises.
- In-home physiotherapy that encourages safe movement in real environments, promoting independence.
- Falls prevention and education to help families identify risks and create safer living spaces.
- Family support and training to equip loved ones with practical strategies for continued recovery between visits.
By blending science with compassion, The Rehab Team helps older people rediscover the joy of moving freely and confidently again — one steady step at a time.
How Home Carers Complements Their Work
While The Rehab Team focuses on clinical rehabilitation, Home Carers ensures those gains are supported in daily life. Our carers assist clients with gentle mobility routines. They accompany them on short walks, and help maintain a safe, clutter-free home environment that reduces the risk of falls.
We understand that neurological recovery can feel slow and emotional, so our carers also provide companionship, reassurance, and encouragement to keep motivation high between therapy visits.
Together, The Rehab Team and Home Carers create a complete support system — expert physiotherapy paired with warm, practical help at home. It’s a partnership built on trust, empathy, and shared commitment to helping older New Zealanders live safely and confidently where they belong: at home.
