Scott Macdonald BOst Osteopath

Scott Macdonald has recently graduated with a BOst with Honours from the College of Osteopaths, (Staffordshire University). The course of study includes learning cutting-edge treatments which can be combined with traditional methods, such as massage techniques and innovative muscle energy procedures. He is the 4th generation of osteopaths in his family, this legacy encouraged him to continue in the family tradition to study this therapy.

He has great interests in sport and sports injuries after playing rugby at a high club level. This has driven Scott to pursue his career into helping sports players and athletes with injuries. He is qualified in soft tissue massage; which he uses to treat sports injuries, as well as to reduce stress, and help with aches and pains.

Tari Macdonald Senior Practitioner

Following in the footsteps of three generations of his family, Tari graduated from University College London and started his career at the Silver Grey Clinic in 1989. Since then he has expanded the family practice to include new practitioners and a wide range of therapies. Tari practices all aspects of spinal manipulation from classical structural techniques to cranial work on children and babies as well as acupuncture and foot health care. Additionally, he has completed a post graduate course in equine manipulation and acupuncture.

Over the last two decades he has established good working relationships with local Doctors and in recent years he has been working with a leading podiatric (foot) surgeon on developing new types of orthotic foot insoles that are ideal for resolving biomechanical issues (misalignment of bones in feet and legs) which, over time, manifest in many conditions of the neck, hips and spine. Tari can provide custom-made foot orthoses, depending on your needs.

Chris has worked continually over the years to grow the clinic and has been helping the population of East Grinstead and the surrounding areas ever since.

As one of the pioneers of complementary medicine in the country, Chris’s reputation as one of the first and finest practitioners working in the area has deservedly grown over the years.
