My Approach to Care

“My approach to care is centred around listening and developing a robust therapeutic relationship. I believe in providing evidence-based care that is focussed on what matters to you and allows you to fulfil your true potential.”

Why Choose Home Visits?

Recovering in your own environment is often more effective than visiting a clinic. We eliminate the stress of travel and waiting rooms, allowing us to assess your mobility where it matters most—safely in your own home. This approach is central to Medella’s mission of helping older adults regain independence without the hassle of hospital appointments.

Background and Experience

Libby retrained as a Physiotherapist following a career in classical music publishing, driven by a strong desire to provide holistic, evidence-based patient care. Following her qualification in 2008, she began her clinical career in an independent rehabilitation hospital, treating a broad portfolio of patients. Here, she gained experience with conditions ranging from orthopaedic, neurological, and elderly rehabilitation to support for severe chronic fatigue syndrome and rare genetic disorders.

Following this role, Libby progressed to a senior position in community rehabilitation. While initially specialising in orthopaedic rehabilitation, she quickly expanded her scope to include elderly rehabilitation, falls management, and respiratory care. Returning to the NHS, she took up a senior position within a community rehabilitation team, providing supported discharge, rapid response, and management of long-term conditions.

Libby is dedicated to providing care backed by robust clinical evidence. This passion led her to a role as a research physiotherapist within a large teaching hospital, focussing entirely on Multiple Sclerosis (MS). She received a National Institute for Health and Care Research pre-doctoral award to complete a Masters in Clinical and Health Research, allowing her to conduct her own research into diagnosis communication in MS. She has extensive knowledge of neurological conditions and is passionate about bringing this expertise to patient care in a meaningful way.

In her free time, Libby acts as a Trustee for a national cardiac charity where she runs an educational podcast for patients. Her love of classical music remains strong, and she plays the piano whenever she gets the opportunity.
