A NEW physiotherapy practice has been launched in Cross Hills.

Iain Harris has set up Physio Solutions on Main Street after retiring from the NHS after 31 years, the last 27 of which were spent in Keighley where he was a recognised figure in the community.

He hopes to add to the services already offered by the thriving business community in Cross Hills.

The ribbon to his new business was cut by Martin Gibbons, who was injured in Afghanistan and is an ambassador for The Army Benevolent Fund.

Members of the Ultra6 team were also in attendance as Iain is looking after them on their attempt to cycle up and down Mount Ventoux 21 times in four days to set a new world record.

Ultra6 member Ben Wood said: "Without Iain's help, I would not have been able to achieve all the various challenges that I have done over the last few years."

Iain also looks after All Terrain Cycles Racing Team and he is looking forward to helping the local cycling community.

The practice contains cycling memorabilia from the past and present.
