Prestons Health – Peterborough

About

Prestons Health is Peterborough’s leading independent provider of holistic, evidence-based healthcare. Founded in 1969, the clinic has grown from a family-run physiotherapy service into a multidisciplinary centre offering expert care across a wide range of therapies. With over 50 years of experience, three generations of the Prestons family have shaped a trusted local legacy built on compassion, skill, and integrity.

The story began with Albert Preston, a remedial gymnast during the war, who moved to Peterborough in 1947. He became Chief Physiotherapist at Thorpe Hall Rehabilitation Centre and served Peterborough United Football Club for 25 years. Albert also treated patients privately well into his seventies, laying the foundation for what would become Prestons Health.

Inspired by their father, Albert’s sons William and George both became Chartered Physiotherapists. William treated athletes at the National Spinal Injury Centre at Stoke Mandeville and served as physiotherapist to the English Commonwealth Paraplegic Games team in 1966. George supported Leicester Football Club over many years. In 1969, William opened the original Prestons Physiotherapy clinic on Alexandra Road, which has since become a cornerstone of healthcare in the area.

The Peterborough clinic was redeveloped in 1995, adding private treatment rooms, a rehabilitation studio, and free on-site parking. In 2001, William’s daughter Helen, a Chartered Physiotherapist since 1996, took over leadership. Drawing on her family’s deep expertise and her own interest in holistic therapy, Helen expanded the clinic’s approach. In 2013, Prestons Physiotherapy evolved into Prestons Health, reflecting a broader commitment to integrated, patient-centred care.

Today, Prestons Health continues to uphold the values of ethical practice, therapeutic relationships, and scientific rigour. Our mission is to help every patient return to doing what they love—healthier, stronger, and more confident.
