Run by Carole Rogers from her clinic in Riverstone Terraces, Upper Hutt, Third Age Physiotherapy Limited offers over thirty years of professional physiotherapy experience, with a specialist focus on neurological and vestibular rehabilitation.
Carole holds a Graduate Diploma in Physiotherapy and is a member of Physiotherapy New Zealand. Over her career she has built an impressive range of certifications, including Vestibular and Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation, LSVT BIG for Parkinson's, Bradcliff practice for breathing pattern disorders, Bobath and Advanced Bobath accreditation for neurological rehabilitation, and Odstock Food Drop practice.

Third Age Physiotherapy specialises in assessing and treating vertigo, dizziness and balance disorders, Parkinson's, stroke and brain injury, and breathing pattern disorders. Carole's particular passion is the wellbeing of her patients, empowering them to enjoy a better quality of life through targeted, expert rehabilitation. Clients don't need a referral from a doctor — self-referral is welcomed, alongside referrals from medical practitioners.
Alongside her clinical caseload, Carole has a particular focus on the health and mobility of the mature adult, drawing on her decades of experience working with older patients navigating balance, mobility and neurological challenges.
Beyond individual client work, Carole provides extensive physiotherapy services to several rest and retirement homes across the Wellington region. This includes not only direct residential physiotherapy but also training carers in best practice manual handling, helping ensure safer, more effective care for residents.
Recognising that not every patient can easily travel to a clinic, Third Age Physiotherapy offers a fully mobile service. Carole will see patients either at her Upper Hutt clinic or in their own home, tailoring the location to what best suits the patient or organisation she's working with.
Carole also offers professional supervision for physiotherapists, extending her decades of specialist knowledge to support the development of others in the profession.
Whether you're dealing with vertigo, recovering from a stroke, managing Parkinson's, or simply looking to improve your mobility as you age, Third Age Physiotherapy offers a personal, highly experienced approach to care. Carole can be reached directly by phone or email to discuss your symptoms and arrange an appointment, either at her Upper Hutt clinic or in your own home.
