Body Matters Orthopedics & Physiotherapy Clinic
Dr. Thanapat and Dr. Up are repeatedly named for orthopedic consultations and physical therapy — patients consistently praise their detailed explanations of root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Multiple reviewers mention they've seen other orthopedists at larger Phuket hospitals and rank Dr. Thanapat as superior, particularly for spinal injuries and knee issues.
What ThailandClinics Found
TC VerifiedDr. Thanapat and Dr. Up are repeatedly named for orthopedic consultations and physical therapy — patients consistently praise their detailed explanations of root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Multiple reviewers mention they've seen other orthopedists at larger Phuket hospitals and rank Dr. Thanapat as superior, particularly for spinal injuries and knee issues.
The clinic handles sports and work-related injuries with fast visible results — scuba diving neck stiffness resolved in one session, sciatica pain reduced 80% in a single visit, and running-related leg tightness and nerve irritation cleared almost completely after one ultrasound session (priced at 999 baht). Patients report relief happening within days, not weeks.
Ultrasound treatment and manual physiotherapy here produce immediate functional improvements — patients who arrived unable to climb stairs or turn their necks report being able to walk normally and move freely after treatment. The clinic also handles chronic office syndrome (tight shoulders, neck pain from desk work) with straightforward explanations of what's tight and why, plus they process insurance claims on-site.
Worth knowing
The clinic can get busy enough that walk-ins risk long waits — multiple reviewers specifically recommend making an appointment in advance rather than dropping by, suggesting peak times do create scheduling issues.

"UPDATE. I had my consultation today and I can honestly say that everything about this clinic is first class. The clinic itself is new and modern with lots of parking. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. And most importantly the Doctor was excellent. He answered all my questions clearly and talked me through the abdominal ultrasound procedure as it was happening, explaining everything on the screen. The consultation was extremely thorough and I left feeling that I had been extremely well looked after and cared for. I even received some very helpful advice on some other related health issues. If you have any orthopedic or muscular issues I can highly recommend this clinic. Previous review..... I am rating this clinic 5 stars and I haven't even visited yet! Just the service for the booking process alone was a great experience and so much better than usual. The reply to my message on WhatsApp was very prompt and answered all my questions quickly and clearly. It was very easy to establish what services were available and the clinic confirmed they could provide exactly what I wanted. I have made an appointment and will review again afterwards. But if the booking service so far is anything to go by then the consultation should be excellent"
"Very impressed with this clinic. Exceptionaly clean, staff very courteous and polite. Dr.Thanapat excellent English speaking and professionalism just made this trip all worth it. Now I just have to wait and see if the PRP injection will work."
