The Rehab Team
Neurological Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy in Tauranga
Rehabilitation for neurological conditions, delivered where you need it
Living with a neurological condition or injury can affect much more than movement. It can change your balance, energy, thinking, confidence, ability to work or study, and the way you manage everyday life.
The Rehab Team provides personalised neurological physiotherapy, occupational therapy and rehabilitation support for people across Tauranga, Papamoa, Mount Maunganui and surrounding areas. We work with people whose neurological condition or injury is affecting movement, physical function, fatigue, cognition or everyday activities.
Our team brings together different areas of rehabilitation to focus on what matters to you — whether that's walking more confidently, managing fatigue, returning to work, improving your balance, getting back to activities you enjoy or becoming more independent at home.
Neurological rehabilitation is what we do every day.
We provide in-home appointments throughout Tauranga and surrounding areas, with online appointments available throughout New Zealand where appropriate.

Helping you keep your rehabilitation going between appointments
Your physiotherapist or occupational therapist leads your rehabilitation. Your Rehab Coach can help you put it into practice.
Your clinician first assesses you and develops an individualised rehabilitation programme. Your Rehab Coach can then provide practical support to help you carry out your programme between appointments.
This may include support with exercise, movement practice, mobility and functional activities, as well as helping you build consistency with your rehabilitation at home.
A Rehab Coach may be helpful if you:
benefit from more regular practice between appointments
need assistance or guidance with your rehabilitation programme
find it difficult to remember or perform exercises correctly
would benefit from encouragement and accountability
want more opportunities to practise at home
Your Rehab Coach works within a programme established by your treating clinician and does not replace your physiotherapist or occupational therapist.

Why choose The Rehab Team?
Extensive neurological rehabilitation experience
Neurological rehabilitation is what we do every day. Our team brings decades of combined experience in neurological rehabilitation. Kaitlin and Nicky each have more than 15 years of experience in neurological rehabilitation, while Carmen brings more than 15 years of experience in occupational therapy and neurological rehabilitation.
This depth of experience allows us to work with a wide range of neurological conditions and the complex ways they can affect movement, function, fatigue, cognition and everyday life.
A team approach
Our team includes neurological physiotherapists, a neurological occupational therapist and a Rehab Coach, allowing different aspects of your rehabilitation to be addressed within one team.
Your physiotherapist or occupational therapist leads your rehabilitation, with your Rehab Coach providing additional support to put your programme into practice where appropriate.
We come to you
We provide in-home neurological rehabilitation throughout Tauranga, Papamoa and Mount Maunganui.
Working in your own environment allows us to understand the challenges you experience in everyday life and work on meaningful goals where they actually happen.
Individualised rehabilitation
Your rehabilitation is built around you — your assessment, abilities, environment, priorities and goals. We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Your plan can change as your needs, abilities and goals change.
No wait times and flexibility with your rehabilitation
As a private rehabilitation service, we can work with you for as long as rehabilitation remains useful and appropriate for your goals.
There is no predetermined rehabilitation timeframe or set number of sessions. This means we can provide short-term targeted rehabilitation, ongoing support or longer-term rehabilitation as your needs change.
One Team. Different Roles. One Goal.
Neurological rehabilitation can involve different areas of your life.
Your physiotherapist may focus on movement and physical function. Your occupational therapist may help with fatigue, cognition, everyday activities or returning to work and study. Where appropriate, a Rehab Coach can provide additional support to put your rehabilitation programme into practice.
