What Simon’s patients have to say
“A friend recommended Simon Irwin at the Carlton Clinic as I had a few issues with my lower back that had not been resolved by other osteopaths. Simon has not only successfully treated me on many occasions, but has advised me to pursue Yoga & Pilates, which has helped me as well. All the team at the Carlton are extremely friendly & welcoming & the new premises at Horley are outstanding.”
Kevin Beeney
“Honestly couldn’t say a bad thing about the Carlton Clinic, I’ve had various treatments over the years for popped ribs, popped pelvis, ripped hamstring and they have just been amazing. Went today as I had severe neck pain after weight lifting and Simon did a great job to relieving the pain in my neck and back. Already feeling so much better! Wouldn’t ever go anywhere else. highly recommend it!”
