“Falls and balance problems can have a real impact on confidence and independence. I take time to understand what is contributing to each person’s difficulties and develop a practical rehabilitation plan around what matters to them.”
Bex (Rebecca) is Medella’s falls and balance specialist for the Christchurch and Wimborne area. As a lead physiotherapist at Christchurch Hospital, she brings NHS leadership experience alongside her expertise in complex falls prevention and neurological rehabilitation.
Early Career
Bex graduated from Keele University in 2009 and initially worked in orthopaedic and musculoskeletal settings. She then completed junior rotations at Bournemouth Hospital, gaining experience across stroke rehabilitation, respiratory care including ITU, outpatient musculoskeletal, and elderly care. This broad foundation serves her well when working with clients who have multiple issues.
Neurology Specialism
In 2013, Bex progressed to a senior position within a neurological therapy team, working both in inpatient care and the community. She treated patients with stroke, brain injury, Guillain-Barré, and Multiple Sclerosis, building the expertise that now underpins her falls prevention work.
Current NHS Role
Bex is currently in a leadership role at Christchurch Hospital. This role keeps her at the forefront of clinical practice and gives her insight into the full patient journey from acute care through to community rehabilitation.
Bex has completed a Master’s module at Nottingham University in stroke rehabilitation and attended specialist courses in neurological and vestibular management.
