Paul is a therapist who is certified in both osteopathy & physiotherapy. He holds a Master’s degree in Osteopathy from the prestigious University College of Osteopathy in London and is a registered practitioner in both the United Kingdom and France. He also has a medical acupuncture certification from the British Medical Acupuncture Society.

Paul has over ten years of experience in boutique and international multidisciplinary practices, having worked in London, Paris, and Singapore. His approach is a collaborative experience that combines osteopathic manual therapy with scientific evidence-based rehabilitation programs, drawing on both lineages of knowledge to provide a beautiful, in-depth, and holistic care.

Paul enjoys combining his personal sports experience (ex. tennis player and coach) with a professional understanding of biomechanics to achieve the best possible recovery rates and prevent further injuries. His philosophy has remained unchanged to this day, with the goal of improving an individual’s function and relieving pain for optimum well-being. He has extensive experience working with world-class athletes ranging from ATP players to Rugby 7s and elite fighters, assisting them in regaining fitness and excelling in their athletic careers.

He specialises in working with people who have complicated long-term conditions, such as TMJ dysfunction, chronic headaches, low back pain, shoulder pathologies, and posture issues caused by prolonged office work.

His primary goal is to build strong relationships with his patients while assisting them in recovering through education, support, osteopathic manual therapy, and active rehabilitation. He’s an holistic therapist who guides his patients through exercises and lifestyle hacks in a safe and effective manner, allowing them to return to normal daily and sporting activities.

In practice, he applies his previous professional skills and dual prior learning experience in France and London to tailor his approach to the individual, always aiming to optimise the patient’s health while maintaining a friendly and professional demeanor.

His approach is primarily structural, but he incorporates other methods as needed, such as Physiotherapy and Exercises Prescription, Medical Acupuncture, Balanced Ligamentous Tension, and Still Technique. This can be extremely beneficial, especially for patients suffering from long-term chronic pain for which no anatomical source of pain has been identified despite numerous scans.

I have been seeing Paul Stoenescu and he has been so wonderful. As he is a physiotherapist and osteopath he is able to utilise both therapies in the most unique way to treat injury in its entirety. Incredible knowledge in both treatment, recovery and strength for long term benefit. Thank you!!!

Seen Paul a couple times over the years, always been great at identifying the issue early and not just resolving the issues causing the pain, but working on long term management after recovery. Highly recommended!

All our experiences at City Ostheo and Physio were great. Recently my 9 year old had a tennis accident (pain in his quads) and Paul fixed it with various techniques (ultrasound, cupping). We had 2 sessions, but the pain was gone after the first session. Paul also recommended various exercises to make the upper leg stronger and prevent similar accidents. Overall a very personalised and great experience.

Paul Christian is excellent. I have been having C5&6 nerve compression, and he has been so helpful in my recovery. After just 3-4 visits, with his massages, mobilizations, and prescribed exercises, much of the pain is gone on most days. Looking forward to full recovery through the next few visits.

I saw Paul-Christian Stoenescu on 4April 2023 for what I thought was a frozen shoulder. I experienced excruciating pain the day before and I could not lift up my right arm at all. Paul worked on my shoulder and arm and taught me some exercises to work at at home. At the same time I was instructed to apply heat and cold treatment to reduce the inflammation. By my 2nd visit on 8 April there was significant imp lift my arm up to 90 degrees without any pain. Paul concluded it was not frozen shoulder but bursitis which is good news as frozen shoulder would take a much longer time to heal. By the 3rd visit which is today, 12 Apr, my arm is much better and I could lift it up vertically with ease.

Paul treated my hamstring injury. I have done sports all my life and seen many physiotherapy professionals and he is right up there as one of the best, a real expert, explains what is wrong and why, does excellent treatment, and provides a detailed plan for exercising.

I have regular appointments with Paul, and I must share that I feel much better afterwards! Following a motorcycle accident, I face regularly spine and neck troubles. Paul helps me enormously to deal with them and have a better life. Thank you to Paul @ the Clinic professionals!

Highly recommend Paul Cristian. Started my sessions with Paul this May and it has brought tremendous relief. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and patient. An empathetic osteo and phsyio, he takes the time to understand your lifestyle habits before delving into what ails you. A keen observer, he is often able to determine with accuracy, your physiological and biomechanical problems. Great manual therapy techniques and helpful follow-ups by email to share various exercise regimes. A bonus is Paul’s ability to explain everything in a relatable and easy-to-understand manner. Clinic staff are polite and professional while the Guthrie House location is a 5-min stroll from the sixth avenue mrt station on the downtown line.

Paul is very helpful. He listened to my complications and assisted in recommending the right work area arrangements for my posture, the right pillow for my sleep, adjusted my body accordingly, and prescribed some exercise to do. I like it as Paul is sincere to help me (he even told me to give the exercise a try first before going back too soon), instead of some other places that are just trying to push packages/sales. Thank you City Osteopathy and Paul!
