Introduction:
Carolyn McGregor Registered Osteopath Registered Homoeopath
Graduated from The British School of Osteopathy, London in 1993 and is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOSc 414) and the Institute of Osteopathy (iO 2237) and The Alliance of Registered Homeopaths (MARH 577) and is in full-time Osteopathic practice with a specialist interest in:
Family practice - all round general Osteopathic practice
Pregnancy; Labour and Post-Partum - including attendance during delivery
Children - new born and the older child
Dance and Sports Medicine - experience treating athletes and professional dancers;
Post neuro-surgery states and post- trauma states including head injury
'Knowing normal'
 
Osteopathy is founded on the intimate study of applied anatomy and physiology to observe the dynamic healing of the whole person. Through a sense of touch, 'knowing the normal' of healthy tissue function enables an Osteopath to restore health to disturbed tissues whether from illness or trauma. The founding precept of Osteopathy is the knowledge of the inherent wisdom of the body to govern health. 
About Carolyn McGregor:
'I love my fellow man because I see God in his face and in his form' (A.T Still, founder of Osteopathy)
I practice Osteopathy in general family practice as taught by Andrew Taylor Still.
I have trained extensively and worked in full time Osteopathic practice for 34 years as a Registered Osteopath with a specialty in Cranial Osteopathy as taught by Dr William Garner Sutherland, specialising in Obstetric and Paediatric Osteopathy; and with a particular interest in post neurosurgical care. I have taught Osteopathy at under-graduate and post-graduate levels. 
 
 
I wish to offer Osteopathy in all areas of health, and with particular focus to:
Gait analysis, biomechanical assessment and Osteopathic management of the injured athlete; Osteopathy for Dance and Sports Injury prevention and recovery;
Osteopathic care in post trauma states including head trauma and neurosurgical care;
Osteopathy in Pregnancy, Labour and Post-Partum: Obstetric and Paediatric Osteopathy;
Cranial Osteopathy for children with development and learning delay; Osteopathy for children in facilitating wellness in healthier, happier transitions in growth and development;
Osteopathy for Health for adults and senior adults in Later Years;
I strive for effective means of cure with honesty, integrity, simplicity and truthfulness. I only take on those patients that I know I can fully treat and operate a system of co-referral with many other health practitioners. My practice has always been based upon the necessity of sharing ideas and information.
 
I search for the best information and refer on where necessary, to optimise the health of my patients. I don't have an ego about this. It’s what works for me and my patients.
I learn from my patients. They have always been my best teachers.
 
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy was developed by American frontier physician, Dr Andrew Taylor Still.
He discovered Osteopathy in 1870 and it was formally taught from 1892 onwards.
Osteopathy was founded upon the wise application of the hands, with a deep knowledge of anatomy, dissection, physiology and the inherent wisdom of the body to heal itself.

The founding principles of Osteopathy recognise the importance of the healthy functioning of all organ systems and the relationship of each system to the whole. Dr Still, the founder of Osteopathy wrote: 'Osteopathy to me is a very sacred science. It is sacred because it is a healing power through all of nature'.
Linguistically, Osteopathy is derived from the Greek, 'osteon', none and 'pathos', suffering. Dr Still used the term Osteopathy denoting that his system of medicine began with a knowledge of the bones to encompass all aspects of applied anatomy and physiology. 'To know all of a bone in its entirety would close both ends of an eternity'. Dr Still reasoned that 'a natural flow of blood is health; the nerves causes muscles to contract and compress venous flow of blood to the heart; and the bones could be used as levers to relieve pressure on nerves, veins and arteries.
 
Cranial Osteopathy:
The teachings of Dr Andrew Taylor Still inspired his student, William Garner Sutherland to a lifelong study of Osteopathy. Aged 24 years, Sutherland discovered the inherent motion of the temporal bones, likening it to the gills of a fish, designed for exchange within the primary respiratory system. 'Bevelled like the gills of a fish, and indicating an articular mobile mechanism for respiration' wrote Dr Sutherland.
During the next thirty years, Dr Sutherland worked out his system of cranial Osteopathy. Through experimentation and careful analysis, Sutherland observed the inherent motion of the cranial bones, the gliding motion of the fascial membranes and the motility of the nervous system; the actions of the durae and intra-cranial membranes which he termed the 'reciprocal tension membranes' and the relationship of these five phenomena to the body.
Fundamental principles:
Fluctuation of the cerebro-spinal fluid or the 'potency of the Tide'
The function of the reciprocal tension membrane
The motility of the neural tube
The articular mobility of the cranial bones
The involuntary mobility of the sacrum between the ilia.
The Primary Respiratory mechanism maintains an inherent, rhythmic, automatic, involuntary 'life and motion' cycle of mobility and motility 10-12 cycles per minute.
Every cell and all fluids express this rhythmic, involuntary 'life and motion' throughout life.
This mobility and motility are important factors in maintaining health and is vital in regulating homeostasis of all body physiology, from cell nourishment and motility to the overall regulation of our nervous system, hormonal system and all other vital organs. In 1947, Sutherland stated: 'Allow physiological function within to manifest its own unerring potency rather than apply blind force from without'.
 
'Make yourself a child of inquiry and a student of nature' Dr A.T Still
Osteopathy today honours the founders of Osteopathy and explores new paradigms of healing and science. One of the emerging sciences which support Osteopathic understanding is embryology. 'The forces at work here are precise in time and spatial orientation and meet those intersections with complete precision. By eight weeks of embryonic life: the birth of the foetus. The basic form is done. Forces inside fluids make decisions'  states Dr James Jealous in the Handbook of Osteopathy.
'The forces of embryogenesis becomes the forces of healing in the adult'. ' As Osteopaths, we are searching for Health, we are attempting to follow its direction, moment to moment, as it consciously creates living motion towards perfection' (Dr James Jealous DO., Biodynamic Osteopathy: www.jamesjealous.com)

Homoeopathy at Petersfield Osteopathy, 1a Spain Buildings, 28 The Spain, Petersfield, Hants, GU32 3LA and The Light Centre Marylebone, 4 Baker Street, (Portman Square). London. W1H 6AZ:

Carolyn McGregor graduated as a Homoeopath from The South Downs School, Chichester with a licentiate in Homoeopathy after four year studies in June 2006. Registered with the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths (MARH 577).

Homoeopathy is an integral part of my practice.

'The Physician's highest and only calling is to make the sick healthy, to cure, as it is called. The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health' (cf. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of the Medical Art, c.1842).

Homoeopathy is a healing practice treating the whole person in mind, body, spirit to assist well-being and vitality.
By gently restoring the body's natural physiology and equilibrium, Homoeopathy seeks to work with the body's vital energy in restoring health.

Homoeopathic remedies are made from plants, minerals, the animal kingdoms and are carefully prepared in Homoeopathic Pharmacy in specific accordance to the teachings, principles and practice of Samuel Hahnemann.

A small amount of the whole plant material is carefully triturated, succussed and diluted to create a Homoeopathic remedy.

The art of the Homoeopath lies in the accurate and sensitive recording of a patient's case history, in understanding how the health has responded to life events and in careful listening to the person's self-understanding and experience.

In this manner the Homoeopathic case history becomes an accurate record of the dynamic response of the health and the task of Homoeopathic prescribing is 'To treat the person not the disease, the cause not the symptoms, in order to bring about restoration to health' (cf. Samuel Hahnemann)
Homoeopathy for new born and older children;

Homoeopathy for women's health, pre-conceptual health, peri-natal health, menopausal health;
