For Les, the Ulverston site owes itself to the continued popularity of Barrow and District Physiotherapy, which is a part of the Gym Group on Hindpool Road.
"We are super excited about this new opportunity," Les said.
"It came about due to the huge success of the Barrow clinic, the need to expand and in offering high quality physiotherapy and sports massage therapy treatments to the lovely people of Ulverston."
With appointments almost completely booked up for opening day, Les added that he was looking forward to working more with The Green Clinic.

His passion for physiotherapy dates back to when he was 14-years-old, with Barrow AFC playing its part to inspire him.
"I remember watching a VHS tape in 1990 of Barrow AFC player, Paul Ferris, receiving a massage to his knee and thinking wow, that’s really smart as it’s got him running again," he said.
"Of course, physio as we know it isn’t just about massage, but that was my first early experience."
What pushed him further along the path towards his career was actually a personal diagnosis of greater trochanter bursitis.
Les explained: "The problem was eventually resolved by a sports therapist who had an excellent knowledge of the bodies anatomy and the mechanics of injury and, through his own clinical reasoning, he was able to work out the problem.
"This inspired me to bring forth a positive injury rehabilitation experience to others."
