A SILSDEN physio-business owner has bought the premises she had leased for eight years.

Katherine McNabb, of Bodyfix Physio, acquired the Briggate building with funding support from NatWest.

The mum-of-two pays tribute to the bank's relationship manager, Elizabeth Smith, for her help.

"Elizabeth has been fantastic to work with," said Mrs McNabb, who was a physio for the British diving team before launching her business.

"She provided me with the right information when I needed it and was very professional.”

Mrs McNabb and her ten-strong team provide a holistic approach to physiotherapy, with musculoskeletal therapies as well rehabilitation.

"We diagnose, treat and provide rehabilitation for hundreds of different conditions and work closely with GPs and consultants," she said.
