Anthony Jackson CEO.
I founded Healthsec Rehab after my 82-year-old mother, who was seriously injured in a car accident. She suffered multiple life-changing injuries, including a severe traumatic brain injury. I was grateful for the excellent emergency and hospital care she received, but frustrated when her rehabilitation was delayed due to an overloaded system.
Determined to provide essential, accessible and affordable physiotherapy, well-being and rehabilitation for all, I established Healthsec Rehab. Welcome to Shrewsbury HQ, come for a visit and join us for a cuppa, sit in our peaceful gardens, or chat to our friendly team.
