Biography

With Rhys & Matt’s experience in human allied healthcare, they knew first hand how much hands-on treatment and rehabilitation are an integral part of the primary healthcare system. It’s well researched that by combining this sort of treatment with conventional medicine, patients recover better after surgery, the need for medication is minimised and ultimately people live a better quality of life.

The Animal Rehab Klinik came about with the realisation that there were next-to-no allied healthcare services available to animals, which was in stark comparison to the human world where there are usually multiple chiropractic, osteopathy & physiotherapy practices in the one area. Knowing this, Rhys and Matt set about to create a clinic dedicated to improving the quality of life of small animals throughout Sydney, and giving their owners another choice in the treatment they seek for their pets.
