A NEW physiotherapy unit for sport fans was opened by Burnley's Commonwealth gymnast Craig Heap.

The facility, at the Thompson Centre, Burnley, will be run by trained sports physiotherapist Paul Walsh.

Paul said: "By this time of year people whose New Year's resolution was to improve their fitness levels, could be feeling the pace by being tire, stiff and experiencing a few aches and pains.

"They could be thinking of packing it all in when all that may require is a massage, a stretch and someone to give them advice to get them cracking on."
