We Don't Guess. We Investigate. We Fix.

Lee Petrucci

Clinical Director — Founder

For three decades, Lee has been getting people back to doing the things their pain and injuries have taken away. His career began in professional football, specialising in tendon injury and returning elite players to competition — an environment where results are everything and excuses don't exist. That uncompromising standard followed him into private practice. Since opening his first successful clinic in Cambridge in the mid-2000s, Lee has built and led multiple clinic businesses, treating thousands of patients across the full spectrum of musculoskeletal and spinal conditions. He has lectured Anatomy and Physiology for CUMA at Cambridge University, worked closely with the Injured Jockeys Fund supporting beneficiaries living with paralysis and spinal injury after racing falls, and spent many years as a specialist in back pain, sciatica, disc injury, and spinal stenosis. Lee's clinical philosophy is simple: don't guess, investigate. Don't manage symptoms, fix the cause. And don't measure success by pain scores — measure it by whether the patient is back doing what they love. That philosophy is the foundation of BodyCare's transformational care model, and it drives every decision the clinic makes.

Jo is the heart of BodyCare's front-of-house and your first point of contact from the moment you enquire. With over 20 years' experience in clinic administration — including managing admin teams and overseeing day-to-day operations across multiple clinic businesses — she ensures everything runs like clockwork so the clinical team can focus entirely on your recovery. But what truly sets Jo apart is her genuine warmth. She is passionate about making every patient feel welcome, looked after, and at ease — whether it's your first nervous phone call or your tenth visit. She takes the time to understand your schedule, coordinates your care plan around your life, and makes sure you always know what's happening next. Her calm, unflappable nature means that even on the busiest days, patients feel unhurried and valued. Jo doesn't just manage the clinic — she sets the tone for the entire patient experience.

Kieran Palmer

Kieran graduated from Cambridge with a degree in Sports and Exercise Therapy and is also a qualified Sports Therapist. After completing extensive clinical observation hours with us as a student — where his sharp eye for detail and genuine passion for patient outcomes made an immediate impression — he joined the team full time. Kieran has quickly become our VALD and HumanTrak guru — specialising in force-testing technology (VALD) and 3D movement analysis (HumanTrak) to objectively measure patient progress and guide rehabilitation with precision. He combines technical expertise with a calm, reassuring manner that puts patients at ease from the first session. His analytical approach means nothing is overlooked, and his commitment to continued professional development ensures every patient benefits from the latest evidence-based techniques. Kieran is an accomplished and highly skilled therapist whose focus on measurable outcomes aligns perfectly with our philosophy: find the problem, prove the solution is working, and get you back to full function.

Thierry Pennec

Sports Massage Therapist

Originally from Brittany, France, Thierry moved to Suffolk 24 years ago and has made it home ever since. A passionate and committed runner, it was his own battle with recurrent injuries that sparked his journey into sports therapy — a path that has since helped countless patients reclaim their active lives. He trained as a sports massage therapist in 2019 and has never looked back, building a loyal following of patients who value his intuitive hands-on skills and deep understanding of how the body moves under stress. Thierry is also a qualified Dry Needling and Medical Acupuncture therapist, giving him additional clinical tools to target stubborn trigger points and accelerate recovery where massage alone isn't enough. His calm, focused approach and genuine empathy for patients in pain make him a natural fit for the BodyCare philosophy — he doesn't just treat muscles, he listens, investigates, and works methodically to help you move freely and live without limitation.
