Simon Irwin

Simon comes from a family with strong medical roots. With generations of the family becoming nurses, doctors and surgeons, he showed an affinity for working with his hands from an early age, taking up massage as an amateur to help his mother with her back complaints in his preteen years.

After finishing his A-Levels Simon studied Human Biology at Loughborough University, during which time he played various sports including Rugby, American Football and Martial Arts, taking full advantage of the University’s sports facilities. While there he was a member of the Loughborough Aces American Football team which won the national championships, and was then chosen to represent the North of Britain internationally against a USA touring side.

One degree under his belt, Simon chose to follow his dream of becoming an Osteopath and enrolled at the British School Of Osteopathy. During his four year degree Simon spent time working in the School’s expectant mother and homeless clinics, as well as becoming the Student Union President for a Year. While there he also began training in Kodenkan Danzan Ryu Ju-Jitsu under Sensei Stephen Nicholls, included in which was the use of Seifukujitsu - a traditional Japanese healing art. Simon currently holds the rank of 1st Dan (Shodan) and teaches at the Tetsu Tori Dojo in Gatwick.

Graduating in 2003 Simon quickly settled into private practice where he continues to enjoy treating his patients who have, over the years, included Politicians, Television Stars, Premiership Rugby Players, Business Leaders, Dancers, housewives, the elderly and many more…

In 2007 Simon embarked upon a new and exciting part of his Osteopathic career, with the launch of Irwin Osteopathy in Leatherhead, an area he has lived in for years and has grown to love. It was only natural that this is where he should choose to take root for the rest of his professional career.
