Prestons Health

About

Prestons Health is a family-run, holistic healthcare provider based in Peterborough, with a rich history dating back to 1969. The Prestons family has nurtured a tradition of caring for patients through ethical, evidence-based practice for three generations. Their approach combines proven techniques that help patients recover and return to the activities they love.

The story began with Albert Preston, a remedial gymnast during the war, who settled in Peterborough in 1947. Albert served as Chief Physiotherapist at Thorpe Hall Rehabilitation Centre and worked with Peterborough United Football Club (POSH) for 25 years. He later continued private practice until the age of 75. Inspired by Albert, his sons William and George both became Chartered Physiotherapists in the 1960s. William worked at the National Spinal Injury Centre at Stoke Mandeville and served as Physiotherapist for the English Commonwealth Paraplegic Games in 1966, while George worked with Leicester Football Club. William founded Prestons Physiotherapy in 1969 on Alexandra Road, Peterborough.

The clinic grew steadily and underwent redevelopment in 1995, adding private treatment rooms, a rehabilitation studio, and an extensive free car park. In 2001, Helen Preston, William’s daughter, took over. Having qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1996, Helen combined the art of strong therapeutic relationships with evidence-based science, emphasising both in successful patient care.
