A HUDDERSFIELD physiotherapist has travelled to America for a cutting edge conference.

Georgie Oldfield, who runs the Longley-based Pain Relief Centre, was one of two European delegates at the Michigan event.

The meeting was held for practitioners of a technique called the Tension Myoneural Syndrome Programme which addresses the non-physical causes of pain.

Georgie is the first in the UK to offer it.

She is now planning a seminar on May 20.
