About
About the Silver Grey Clinic
The Silver Grey Clinic (formally Silver Health Clinic) was established in East Grinstead in 1977 by Chris Macdonald who graduated with a degree in Physiotherapy in 1967 and Osteopathy in 1968. In 1989, Chris’s son Tari joined the clinic.
In 2018, Tari’s son Scott became the fourth generation in the family when he graduated and joined the clinic. Now, nearly all the patients are referred via word of mouth and with strong links
to local doctors and other health practitioners the clinic has grown from strength to strength. In 2020, the Forest Row Clinic also opened, giving patients a choice of two locations.
In 2018 the Silver Health Clinic changed its name to the Silver Grey Clinic, with an
accompanying facelift and change of logo… It does, however, still remain the same friendly, homely, clinic with the same professional practitioners and staff it always was! Your health and wellbeing is our concern from the minute you walk through the door.
Our Team
Scott Macdonald
Osteopath BOst (Hons)
Tari Macdonald
Senior Osteopath DO
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.

ritual — an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your own light.
I was experiencing middle/lower back pain, called and spoke to Scott who fitted me in the same day! What an awesome bloke, firstly so knowledgeable and skilful, went in feeling 90+ years old, after a few manipulations and working his magic I came out feeling younger than 20. Decided on monthly appointments now to see if I can get down to feeling less than 16. Excellent location, plenty of parking, professional setup, well priced and brilliant service. Highly recommended.
Would highly recommend seeing Scott, never ceases to amaze me the difference I feel when I walk out of the clinic to how I felt when I went in
“Tari – he’s simply the best.”
“Dear Friends. Many thanks for EVERYTHING – I can’t tell you what you did for me.”
“Always a lovely experience – whether to fix a problem or just a change of season treatment the staff at the Silver Health Clinic are always professional and friendly.”
