Simon Grayling

Registered Osteopath BSc (Hons) MSc.

Simon is the senior associate at the practice. 

First graduating from The British School of Osteopathy in 2005 (now The University College of Osteopathy), Simon then later consolidated his training by studying for another two years at The Osteopathic Centre for Children, and gained his masters degree in Paediatric Osteopathy. 

Since 2006 Simon has been working at SW19 Osteopaths and he is proud to serve and feel part of the vibrant Colliers Wood community. He is strong in both structural and cranial osteopathic approaches and tailors his treatment style to suit the patient.

Simon first came to Osteopathy after his daughter received treatment on the midwife’s recommendation following a difficult birth, and the experience affected him as positively as it did his daughter. He had personally experienced the power and beauty of osteopathy, and felt drawn to explore its potential, and this led Simon to re-train and change his career, resulting in a job that he loves. 

In addition to his days at SW19 Osteopaths, Simon also works one day a week at the Osteopathic Centre for Children (the highly regarded charitable children’s clinic) where he has been a clinical tutor since 2015. He uses his enthusiasm for osteopathy to teach post-graduate students about Osteopathy in general and children’s health in particular. So, whilst Simon is expert in treating babies and children, he also loves the variety of adult patients he treats in this clinic, for a wide range of difficulties, and never tires of helping people of all ages to be pain-free and comfortable.

As a lifelong Londoner, Simon lives in Brixton, has three children and has lived a varied and exciting life and he brings this experience to his practice. He is a keen commute cyclist which helps keep him fit, and he also enjoys the gentler things in life like cooking, reading and walking.

Stephen; I feel so much better after the treatment. It is quite a remarkable improvement. I have regained almost 100% movement in my thoracic spine and my lower back is gradually loosening up. I can now feel and use my stomach muscles again. I have gone from spending two very bad nights as I could not get comfortable in any position and experiencing a succession of very painful and exhausting spasms to being able to sleep on my back and my side. My breathing is also deeper. I cannot thank you enough for fitting me in your busy working day, and for doing the treatment on a chair and for giving me the confidence to relax so that healing can take place.

After suffering with severe pain in the left hand side of my back, I decided to seek advice from Simon. I had previously sought medical advice, but the condition had not improved. On the first consultation Simon took detailed notes and then suggested that I could be suffering from Spondylosis. He examined my back and spine and found that this was the case. He is a very caring and conscientious practitioner. I have been treated by Simon on a regular basis and he has made me feel much better and with his treatment and advice, the pain has decreased considerably. I would thoroughly recommend his service.

Penny, Colliers Wood

I am from Greece. I have a severe musculoskeletal problem affecting my upper and lower back. In my country, I have physical therapy sessions weekly for the past 30 years. I came to London to visit my daughter for 4 months. I had to find a therapist so as not to cease treatment for my back. I visited Simon after reading the reviews on the center’s website. Without any hesitation I want to say that I was ecstatic with the results of his work. Simon was able to meet all my needs based merely on my descriptions without even having to see X-rays of my back. He is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, motivated and friendly. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart and I hope that he stays well and continues to offer his services to people in need for many many years to come.

Steve always manages to put me back together again - then life is a pleasure!

I have been seeing Steve on and off for years. Every time I see him I feel as if I have been put back together. He’s an incredible osteopath. I highly recommend the practice because of their ethos and very high standard of treatment.

Claire, SW19

Over the last 6 months Lara has effectively used the Emmett Technique to eliminate my persistent lower back pain as well as foot and heel pain. She has also been able to relieve stress and tension from my neck and shoulders. The relief, as a result of her treatments, is immediate and long-lasting. I would highly recommend her treatments.

Amanda, Wimbledon

My daughter has just played her cello for the first time in four months without experiencing pain. Stephen, we are amazed and delighted!

Yan Kei is incredibly knowledgable. I felt completely confident in her skills, as she has made so much difference to how I feel. I am grateful for such unexpected outcomes that I didn't think it would be so good.

Mandy, SW18

I am just e-mailing you Stephen to let you know that my baby daughter’s tight tummy calmed down considerably after your treatment so thank you very much.

Lara’s thoughtful, gentle, confident and knowledgeable approach results in the most expert therapeutic massage one could hope to receive. The outcome is therefore a very holistic one in which specific discomforts have been eased with and overall relaxation achieved at the same time.
