Rachel opened Preston Physiotherapy in 2016. Rachel opened the clinic as she wanted to create an environment where patients and staff were well looked after. Rachel has since taken a keen interest in Women’s Pelvic Health after personally experiencing pregnancy and welcoming her two daughters, Harper & Lily and her bouncing son, Ollie, to the family.

Rachel has a passion for treating women for pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse and helping women through their pregnancy journey. To find out more about these services, view our women’s health page.
