Chelsea Rubinat Animal Osteopathy
Chelsea is an animal osteopath operating in London and East Sussex. She frequently treats my golden retriever Buffy who has hip dysplasia and I cannot recommend her enough. Chelsea is brilliant at making her feel safe and gives her choice in the sessions and Buffy is visibly happier and more comfortable after her treatments.
Chelsea says:
“My work is based on the restoration of the body’s homeostasis while maintaining respect of each individual I treat. To achieve this I use various procedures including structural manipulations, myofascial work, visceral treatments and craniosacral techniques as well as stretching and exercises to bring comfort and ensure well being for the animal.”
Flow Motion
Flowmotion have been and incredible part of my golden retriever’s care after she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. The team are friendly and accommodating to both the human and the dog’s needs and it is now Buffy’s favourite day of the week!
They do everything using force free/positive reinforcement methods, allowing your dog to take things at their pace.
Conveniently based in East London, their specialist canine hydrotherapy and physiotherapy centre offers a heated indoor pool designed for rehabilitation, fitness and fun.
