Osteopathy, Acupuncture & Ultrasound in Lymington
With Alison, our osteopath and acupuncturist with over 25 years' experience. Available at our Lymington clinic.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy works by adjusting the joints. A small, sudden movement called an adjustment releases trapped nerves, frees up stiff joints, reduces muscle tension and increases pain-free movement. Alison combines this with soft tissue work and, where useful, acupuncture.
Book Osteopathy
Acupuncture (Dry Needling)
Fine needles are placed into tight muscle to encourage release. Often used for migraines, back pain, neck pain, joint pain and nausea. Trying it for the first time? Ask Alison to add it to your osteopathy treatment, free of charge.

Ultrasound Therapy
A non-invasive treatment where sound waves penetrate soft tissue to increase blood flow. Ideal for injuries with a naturally poor blood supply that would otherwise be slow to heal, such as plantar fasciitis and ligament sprains.
Book UltrasoundOsteopath, Acupuncturist, and a Believer in Treating the Whole Picture
Alison joined Bodybest because, after 25 years in practice, she had arrived at the same conclusion as Islay: releasing the muscles, joints, nerves and fascia together is what makes an improvement last. Trained in an osteopathy degree and in acupuncture, she uses the two separately or combined to suit you.
Alison and Islay train together and learn each other's techniques, which means our osteopath and chiropractor can treat the same conditions. If you've always preferred an osteopath, you don't have to compromise on the Bodybest approach.

Osteopathy Questions
What's the Difference Between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor?
Both are regulated manual therapists who treat joints, muscles and nerves. Osteopaths tend to use a broader range of soft tissue and mobilisation techniques alongside adjustments; chiropractors focus more on adjustments. Because our osteopath and chiropractor train together and can treat the same conditions, at Bodybest it comes down to which approach you prefer and who has availability.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Most of our patients report not even feeling the needles. They're extremely fine, and are used to encourage muscle release rather than to stimulate the traditional "meridians".
Is Osteopathy Available at All Clinics?
Currently osteopathy, acupuncture and ultrasound are Lymington only. Our combination chiropractic and massage treatment is available at every clinic.
