Colonic hydrotherapy carried out in our Shepton Mallet clinic is a gentle treatment which involves the slow introduction of warm, filtered water into the bowel through a small tube called a speculum that is gently inserted about an inch and a half into the rectum.  The treatment uses a closed system with gentle water flow and abdominal massage. This means that there is no mess or smell, and that dignity is preserved throughout. 

The water is introduced at a very low and carefully controlled pressure. This “fill and release” process is repeated several times. The water, together with gentle abdominal massage, helps to flush out toxins, soften waste, and restore healthy colon tone. 

Colonics can be administered following hip and back surgery, but mobility must be sufficiently recovered to allow moving off the treatment couch. If you are considering Colon Hydrotherapy post-surgery, please send us an email
