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.

Having suffered from a shoulder injury since last September and following unsuccessful physio, I decided to try SW19 Osteopath and Yan-Kei has been amazing. Not only has my mobility greatly improved as has my posture and knee pain, I am no longer in pain. Amazing at how effective this has been for me in such a short period of time, and I now am able to return back to sports. Yan-Kei explains what she is doing and definitely is invested in my well-being and although I am so much better, I will make this as part of my self care and ensure that I visit her every 5 – 6 weeks to re-balance myself. I highly recommend Yan-Kei; I truly feel she has worked wonders for me.

I thought the treatment for pain in my knee was excellent. I felt I was being considered as an individual as Stephen listened to everything I said and gave a treatment appropriate to my needs. His approach was non-invasive. I began to notice an improvement in my knee after a couple of days and the pain has not recurred. To me, it felt as if each treatment enabled my body to correct itself and rebalance.

Following a breech caesarean birth, Max developed a tendency to turn his head to one side, and he developed a visibly flattened side of head. We were fortunate enough to know Steve's expertise in paediatric osteopathy and it was clear to see how passionate and informed he was regarding treatments and possible outcomes. Throughout the non-invasive treatment we felt totally at ease with Steve, as did Max who fell asleep! I would highly recommend Steve. We are extremely grateful for his time, care and attention to detail.

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 treated my baby son. I felt completely confident that he was in safe hands. Yan Kei sorted out his stiff neck, and he is clearly more comfortable now. Thank you so much

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.

Finding Simon has had a profound impact on my health and recovery. I have found him to be a wonderful balance of professionalism coupled with a sensitivity and intuition that had supported me when I most needed it.

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.

I saw Yan-Kei Man following a musculoskeletal injury, which she helped me treat. Impressed with Yan-Kei's professionalism and attentiveness, I have since introduced my young kids (3 and 5 years old) to osteopathy. In hindsight, a wise decision given that a scooter accident had left my 5 year old with a slight postural dysfunction. I thoroughly recommend Yan-Kei for her specialisation and impeccable manners.

I started seeing Lara about my sinuses, which have cleared. She has also helped me with my neck pain and digestive problems. Thank you so much Lara.
