BORO stars enjoyed lessons in yoga, reflexology and aromatherapy when they paid a visit to Middlesbrough's Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre.

Robert Huth, Julio Arca and Chris Riggott called in at the centre as part of Creating Chances, the Premier League's flagship good causes programme.

Creating Chances is designed to showcase the vast amount of work Boro and the other 19 Barclays Premier League clubs undertake in their local communities.

Boro chose a visit to the MS Centre ahead of numerous applications from a wide variety of good causes.

Middlesbrough FC has long-term links with the centre as Boro players often used its oxygen chamber - a deep-sea diving bell - for the treatment of injuries in past years.

Opened in 1985, the centre is a major boon to local sufferers of MS, a disabling neurological condition that affects messages sent from the brain to other parts of the body.

It is used on a regular basis by almost 300 members, mainly from Teesside but also from as far afield as Newcastle and Scarborough.

Michael Horsley, the centre's development manager, said: "The centre is a lifeline and a Godsend for many people, as they not only to use the different therapies but also as a social support group.

"The nearest centres from Middlesbrough are in Leeds and Edinburgh, so there's a huge number of people who can benefit but perhaps don't even know about our centre.

"Apart from many MS sufferers, we get referrals for those suffering from various illnesses, including cancer patients.

"Receiving this sort of support from MFC and the Premier League is a real boost because we need to keep the centre's profile high, not only to spread the word about our services but also to help our fundraising towards the £100,000 annual running costs."

Through Creating Chances, Boro and the Premier League also donated £4,000 to the centre. The money is helping to build a new website, pay for information leaflets and redecorate the centre.

Boro players have already made Creating Chances community appearances in support of Billingham's Community Integrated Care and MFC in the Community's Enterprise Academy, Entry to Employment and Micro Soccer schemes.

Boro also chose to donate £4,000 to each of Community Integrated Care, the local branches of Samaritans and Guide Dogs for the Blind, plus Teesside charities, the Breakaway Children's Fund and the George Hardwick Foundation.
