A physiotherapy practice is changing hands after more than 25 years.

Penny Naish, who started the Leyburn practice in 1979, has taken semi-retirement and passed the business to Shona Eyre, of Leyburn.

The practice, which moved to purpose-built premises on Leyburn Business Park two years ago, has increased its range of services under the new ownership.

As well as continuing to help with back, neck, and sports injury problems, it offers a domicillary neurological service, rehabilitation after surgery and treatment for respiratory conditions.

"I wish Shona well and would like to thank everyone for their support during the 25 years I have run the practice," said Mrs Naish.
