This is the type of colonic we offer at Bottoms Up. Our treatments take place in a purpose built, private, comfortable room. 

During a closed colonic you will be lying down (facing up) on a cushioned table with a highly trained therapist administering the colonic. 

A privacy sheet covers you for modesty. At the beginning, your therapist will gently insert a molded, flexible speculum with inlet and outlet tubing attached. This allows water to circulate into the colon and for waste to be removed via the outlet tubing, you will not need to push throughout the process..... simply relax. The natural peristaltic motion of the colon is prompted once the water enters the organ. This is the most effective method for removing toxic matter while also strengthening your colon. Faecal matter exits via the outlet tube so there is no odour or mess.

Your therapist will administer the treatment, guiding you through the experience, working with the rythm of your body while using pressure points and gentle massage.

In comparison, during an open colonic you are usually by yourself during the session. 

You lie on a purpose-built bed with a hole for the waste to enter and leave while running water continuously goes into the colon. 

This style of treatment (open), relies on the integrity of the colon to hold and release.

Simply put, yes.

A colonic will remove BOTH good and bad bacteria, but no more than a normal bowel movement would do. The function of a colonic is to cleanse the colon of putrefied waste and gas to create a clean environment for healthy bacteria to thrive.  Support the process further by drinking natural electrolytes (such as coconut water), and vegetable juice after each colonic. Daily consumption of freshly pressed vegetable juice will alkalise your system and help foster the regeneration of your flora over time, plus include quality pre and probiotics.

Possibly, but after about 10 minutes or so you should relax. Our therapists often use the treatment themselves and are very respectful and sympathetic to how you feel. 

They do their very best to put you at your ease. You’re covered discreetly, your tummy is massaged and the warm water is soothing for your bowel.

Faecal matter is removed via the outlet tube so there is no odour or mess.

Your colon is a muscle like any other. It has the ability to stretch and contract. A colonic is like taking your colon to the gym. We promote peristalsis which means your bowel starts to contract and expand. It is a great work out for the colon, improving the integrity of this important muscle.

Most colonic sessions do not smell since the outlet tubing safely and efficiently carries the waste out, eliminating mess and odor. The closed colon hydrotherapy system provides the highest quality hygiene through the “closed” system, which is the professional method.

If you feel less than great ( ie : sluggish, sleepy, dizzy, headaches, etc.), this is a sign that your body is releasing toxins (acidity) and is working toward an optimal state of alkalinity. If you have large amounts of toxic matter accumulated you may feel a little light-headed or queasy, or may experience cramping as this is passed from your system. These feelings are generally mild and pass quickly. 

After colonic hydotherapy you may experience detox symptoms, fatigue being the most common. To support your body further during the detox, a follow-up session within one week is not too soon.

Anyone with the conditions of diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or ischemic colitis.

Anyone who's had recent / prior colon surgery.

Anyone with kidney disease.

Well you don't have to look at what comes out, but for most people that's the most exciting part!

There's a viewing tube attached to the colonic unit so you can analyse all the interesting bits and pieces coming out of your gut – from old waste to gallstones to parasites and more!

As the colon de-congests during a session, the hepatic vessels allow the liver to 'dump' bile, as seen by the therapist as brightly colored yellow, green or orange fluid. This waste material removes dead cells, spent tissue and filtrates from the liver.

We reserve 75 mins for your appointment, with the treatment usually lasting 45 minutes. The extra time is for you, your energies and body to settle, so there's no need to feel rushed.

Yes. It is perfectly fine to get a colonic during any phase of your cycle. A treatment can also aid in relieving any uncomfortable symptoms that you may encounter monthly.

The hydration and release of wastes and gas can relieve painful pressure, cramping, and bloating, promoting an ease of flow.

The colon is the main repository of accumulated waste in the body. If left too long, this waste becomes impacted and septic, increasing the risk of toxins seeping back into the bloodstream and infecting the entire body.

No organ or cell in the body can function optimally without a fresh supply of clean, oxygenated blood, so the healthy, hydrated state of the colon is a vital component of overall health. A toxic, acidic colon is a breeding ground for bacteria and disease, and a major contributing factor in some of today’s most serious health conditions, including acidosis, cancer, heart disease and obesity.

An impacted colon will cease to function properly, causing nutrient malabsorption, bloating, cramping and constipation – symptoms that all further amplify the problem. The average person on a typical Western diet will be carrying around several kilograms of impacted, toxic waste material in their colon.

At Bottoms Up Colonics - Nambour, we believe regular colon cleansing, along with the consumption of fresh vegetable juices and a healthy, clean diet, are key to effective detoxification of the body.
