Meet Our Team

Caroline Lutchmiah
BSC (Hons) Physiotherapy MCSP HCPC AACP
Since qualifying as physiotherapist from Southampton University in 2000 I started work in the NHS and now lead a team of physiotherapists specialising in joint/muscle injuries and post-operative recovery. I developed my own company, Tri-Physio in Chester, due to demand for treatment from patients recommended through word of mouth. I have worked with both club level teams and Team GB at international events. Pilates, kinesiotaping and acupuncture are used by Tri-Physio as an aid to treatment where appropriate.

Kerry McLean
BSC (Hons) Physiotherapy MCSP HCPC PgDip
I qualified from King’s College London in 2001. Since this time I have worked in the NHS, private sector and in industry specialising in the management of musculoskeletal conditions in 2003. I continue to work in the NHS for a large teaching hospital, leading a team of highly skilled physiotherapists in the musculoskeletal field. Through continuous professional development I strive to achieve the best treatment outcome for my patients.
