Posted on Teodora Maria GeorgescuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Game-changer. I’ve dealt with back pain for 3 years and tried various places, but Ionut was the first to truly make a difference. His approach—mixing manual stretching, massage, and dry needling—actually works. He also gave me great strengthening exercises to keep the pain away. For the first time in years, I'm feeling significant relief. Thanks, Ionut!Posted on Jose VegaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I strained my left calf playing volleyball quite badly and needed physical therapy to recover and to help speeding up the healing. At Dues everyone is very attentive and friendly and have great equipment to diagnose and treat injuries. Iounut has excellent clinical skills, he is very professional, supportive and listens carefully to any concerns I have. I am therefore very pleased with the treatment received; Ionut is also empathetic, helpful and kind so I would highly recommend him.Posted on Geoffrey BrittoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a shoulder treatment with Dr. Ionut Dumbrava and I’m very satisfied with the care I received. He took the time to investigate what was really going on, even using ultrasound to get a clear picture of my condition. He then prescribed a two-month rehabilitation plan that felt thoughtful and tailored to my needs. I really appreciate his professional approach, clear explanations, and genuine concern for my recovery. Highly recommended!Posted on G Hanley-SteemersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant. Highly knowledgeable and work with your injury. Great at diagnositic but then also a treatment plan. Then also did some treatment which was fantastic. Really great.Posted on KametiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ionut was instrumental in helping my son recover quickly and fully from a sports injury. From the first appointment we had a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. His ongoing support made a real difference as we had tried other treatments that were not successful. I would highly recommended for anyone seeking professional and compassionate osteopathic treatment.Posted on Nieve HobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Ionut in feb 2024 after experiencing neck pain and debilitating headaches; in just two months he has managed to alleviate the pain! He is always friendly and professional. Hands down one of the best oestopaths in London. thank you Ionut!!Posted on Francesco BucciagliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and very well prepared osteopath. He helped me with my back pain and i highly suggested his services.Posted on Aarti PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ionut has been such a great osteo to help with my recovery after a slipped disc, lower back pain and my hypermobility. He explains things really well and he uses a digital model of the body to show me exactly which muscles/ tendons he is talking about to help my understanding. I have seen a lot of different practitioners over the years and this is the first time I am really able to understand what is going on and how to help it. What I found particularily useful compared to other practitioners is that he is interested in helping me with a long term solution rather than just short term pain relief. He has given me a variety of strengthening and mobility exercises, presented with easy to understand diagrams and he has recorded videos for exercises that he tailored specifically for my hypermobility. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an osteopath.
Hi, I’m Ionut Dumbrava, MSc Osteopath based in SE1.
I work one-to-one with professionals and active individuals dealing with persistent back pain and recurring injuries.
My focus is to identify the real source of your pain – not just reduce symptoms temporarily.
Each session is structured, hands-on and tailored specifically to you.
You’ll always be treated directly by me – never passed between practitioners.
Back pain is rarely just “tight muscles”.
It’s often caused by:
• Joint overload
• Movement compensation
• Poor load tolerance over time
Stretching alone doesn’t fix the root cause.
Painkillers reduce symptoms temporarily.
Without proper assessment, the underlying issue is usually missed.
Our clinic is based in SE1, a short walk from Elephant & Castle station.
We regularly treat patients from:
