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.

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 damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and have had trouble with it ever since. I work in the building trade and have to keep fit and active. Stephen has managed my knee and other associated problems, and without his skill I would not have been able to continue with my job. He has even enabled me to go skiing, although this was against his better judgment! If you are looking for an experienced osteopath, then you need look no further; his skill is unrivalled.

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 rate Stephen very highly and would recommend him to anyone.

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.

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.

I saw Simon regularly to help me with symptoms of multiple slipped discs. Cannot recommend enough - as a first time Osteo patient I found Simon to be professional, helpful and friendly. Everything was done at my own pace and fully explained so I knew what it all meant. Many thanks again!

Oliver, Colliers Wood

As a 74 year old, I felt totally secure with Stephen. He always discussed what he planned to do and his treatments have been so helpful. He is really gentle and completely effective with what he does. It's a wonderful practice, and I would recommend Stephen to anyone.

Susan, SW London

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

Just before Christmas, my back ‘went’. By ‘went’ I mean I could barely walk and had constant pain in my lower back and leg. I was off work and spent most of the time lying on the floor. I was treated by Stephen and Simon, both of whom have a professional but very calm manner – ideal for anyone who’s in a lot of pain. They identified muscle and sciatic nerve damage. They obviously knew what they were doing because the pain gradually started to ease, such that by the beginning of March I was back on the treadmill in the gym. Would I use SW19Osteopaths again? Definitely. Only this time I’d go sooner.
