Since 2018, Chiang Mai Osteopathy has been here to provide year-round care as the city’s first professional osteopathic practice.

Led by Ben Thompson, a British-trained Chiang Mai native, we are an international team of osteopaths and counsellors who believe in caring for the whole person. Together, we bring diverse expertise to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being — going beyond symptoms to help people foster resilience, confidence, and balance in their lives.

Our values

  • Care: Every person is met with compassion and attentiveness.

  • Respect: We honour each person’s story, background, and needs.

  • Professionalism: Our team maintains the highest standards of international practice.

  • Personalisation: No two people are alike, so care is always tailored.

About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of allied healthcare that uses gentle, non-invasive manual techniques to treat the body’s muscles, joints, and spine. Sessions may involve soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling, cupping and movement guidance, all designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

You can expect a session to begin with a detailed case history and assessment, followed by hands-on treatment tailored to your needs, and clear advice on how to manage and support your health between sessions.

Counselling

Alongside osteopathy, we offer counselling to support emotional and psychological well-being. Counselling can be especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, and psychosomatic concerns, complementing physical care with a space to process, reflect, and find balance.
