Colonic Hydrotherapy
Conducted by a trained therapist, filtered water at a carefully regulated temperature is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure through the rectum into the colon.
With special massage techniques, the water begins to soften and cleanse the colon of faecal matter and old deposits which are piped away with the waste water. The therapist works progressively around the structure of the colon allowing water alternately to flow in and release.
The whole process takes between 30 to 40 minutes.
The modesty of the patient is preserved to the utmost during the process.
