Ben Beare

Ben is a highly experienced physiotherapist who has specialised in the treatment of neurological conditions since 2011. For a decade he worked at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery where he gained extensive clinical expertise in both acute and rehabilitation settings, treating a wide variety of neurological conditions. He continues to maintain strong academic and clinical links with the hospital’s internationally recognised Upper Limb Rehabilitation Service.

In addition to providing specialist neurophysiotherapy for clients in their homes, Ben teaches Neurological Rehabilitation on undergraduate, post graduate and advanced practitioner programs. His research has focused on innovative approaches to neurological rehabilitation, including the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) to manage bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease and the development of telerehabilitation programmes to support individuals recovering from acquired brain injury. He completed his PhD at the institute of Neurology, UCL looking at causes of shoulder pain in patients with neurological conditions.

Ben also has wide-ranging professional connections across London, collaborating with expert clinicians in the NHS, private practice, and charitable organisations to ensure the highest standards of care for people living with neurological conditions.

He is highly skilled in the application of rehabilitation adjuncts designed to maximise recovery and is committed to social and community-based initiatives that help clients improve their quality of life and maintain independence.
