EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Posted on Carol MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My brother and nephew have both attended this clinic and highly recommended them. My mum who is 80 has been suffering from pain in her lower back. Shes very independent and it was causing her not just pain but anxiety. I took her along and she was seen by Elliot, we can’t thank him enough he explained her problem in a way we could understand which was very reassuring he treated her back and gave sound advice. We can see a huge improvement in her mobility she’s able to walk further, go shopping and she is happier in herself. I said it’s like she’s been to Lourdes 😂 Thanks again Elliot for helping my lovely mum xxPosted on michelle woodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing colonic irrigation therapy with my therapist, Nicola, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. Nicola's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the session. She took the time to explain the process in detail and answered all my questions with patience and care. During the therapy, she ensured my comfort and provided a relaxing environment, which made the experience much more enjoyable. I left feeling lighter, more energized, and with a newfound sense of well-being. Nicola’s holistic approach and genuine concern for her clients truly set her apart. If you are considering colonic irrigation therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Nicola. You won't regret it! less...Posted on jonathan evasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having suffered for 30 years with a bad back that has got gradually worse over the years, I was pointed in this direction. What a transformation Mike has made to me & my quality of well being, I have gone from struggling to get in & out of the car, from walking any distance to what I can do now. After the 1st session my movement was amazing the pain had been reduced to almost nothing, a further 4 sessions and I walked over 70 miles in 6 days on holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike and his team, these are truely magic at what they do, I guarantee you will not be disappointedPosted on danny mcdonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say went in full of pain came out feeling a new man couldn't recommend highly enoughPosted on Courtley ExecutiveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend a better professional and friendlier place. As I drive for a living I go once a month for my back and they’re brilliant!! There’s a reason why you can’t get an appointment within 10 days unless there is a cancellation.Posted on Nicola FurlongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing clinic offering great treatments. Staff very welcoming, helpful and friendly xPosted on Julie BurnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monday this week, I attended local A&E hospital with severe pain, muscle and nerve damage following a fall few days earlier. I called Balance Tuesday, attended later same day, Elliott listened to the detail of pain and got straight to work. I left feeling 50% relief, I returned 2 days later for another session with Elliot with added prolozone injections with Mike. Today is Saturday, I'm walking, I am pain free and feeling on top of the world. I really can't thank Elliot/Mike enough as I'm now able to go on holiday as planned in coming days. Don't suffer with pain, reach out, these are the best around....🙌Posted on Oliver StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A colonic irrigation is a gentle cleansing treatment that helps flush waste and built-up material from the large intestine.
During the session, warm filtered water is passed slowly into the colon through a small, sterile tube.
As the water moves through, it helps soften and release trapped waste, gas, and residue that may have been sitting in the bowel for some time.
The treatment aims to support healthy digestion, reduce bloating, and leave you feeling lighter and more comfortable.
It is carried out by a trained practitioner who guides you through the process so you always feel relaxed and in control.
Many people use colonic irrigation as part of a wider approach to improving gut health and overall wellbeing.
Colonic hydrotherapy is a treatment that can be used to help with many different types of conditions and health issues. Here’s a quick overview:
Bloating & abdominal discomfort
Fullness, tightness, or swelling after eating
Constipation or irregular bowels
Difficulty passing stool or inconsistent habits
Sluggish digestion
Slow processing of food & delayed stomach emptying
Excess gas or trapped wind
Bubbling, pressure, or discomfort
IBS-type symptoms
Variable bowels, cramps, bloating, urgency
Digestive discomfort linked to stress
Stress-related bloating, cramps or nausea
Skin issues connected to gut imbalance
Blemishes, redness or inflammation
Low energy or fatigue
Tiredness linked to poor digestion or absorption
Heaviness after meals
Sluggish feeling or discomfort following food
Irregular elimination
Changes in toilet habits after dietary shifts
General detox support
Helps cleanse, rebalance & support wellbeing
Colonic irrigation sounds a little scary if you’re not familiar with what it is, but it’s actually really simple.
To give you a clear idea, here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:
1. A small, sterile tube is gently placed just inside the rectum.
2. Warm, filtered water flows slowly into the colon to soften and loosen waste.
3. Once the colon fills, you naturally release the water along with built-up waste and gas.
4. This fill-and-release cycle is repeated several times to help clear the bowel.
5. A trained practitioner monitors the process to keep you comfortable and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Colonic irrigation can offer a range of digestive and wellbeing benefits, especially if you often feel sluggish, bloated, or uncomfortable. Many people notice improvements quickly, while others feel the effects build over a few sessions.
Here are some of the key benefits:
✅ Reduced bloating and abdominal discomfort
✅ Relief from constipation and irregular bowel habits
✅ A lighter, clearer feeling in the digestive system
✅ Support for better nutrient absorption
✅ Improved energy levels when digestion is functioning well
✅ Reduced gas and trapped wind
✅ Support for clearer skin and overall wellbeing
✅ A fresh start for dietary changes or detox plans
Your practitioner will always check that the treatment is suitable for you before you begin.
It’s very important that colonic irrigation and colonic hydrotherapy is conducted by a trained practitioner.

Most people find the treatment comfortable. You may feel mild pressure or the sensation of needing to release, but it should not be painful. Your practitioner guides you through each stage so you feel relaxed and in control throughout.
Stay well hydrated and eat light, simple meals on the day of your appointment. Avoid heavy, greasy foods and excessive caffeine or alcohol. You do not need to fast. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
A typical appointment lasts around 45 to 60 minutes. This includes a short consultation, the treatment itself, and time to rest afterwards if needed.
You will begin with a brief discussion about your health and digestion. A small sterile tube is then placed gently inside the rectum, and warm filtered water is introduced to soften and release waste. You will go through several fill-and-release cycles, all carried out at a slow, comfortable pace. Everything is private, hygienic, and fully guided.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as light cramping or a feeling of needing to use the toilet more often afterwards. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is carried out by a trained professional using sterile equipment. Your practitioner will check your suitability before treatment.
This depends on your goals and how your digestion responds. Some people feel noticeably better after one session, while others benefit from a short course of two or three. Your practitioner can recommend a plan based on your symptoms.
It is not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, active inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal surgery, or pregnancy. A full suitability check is carried out before treatment.
Colonic irrigation is not recommended during pregnancy. Breastfeeding individuals can usually receive treatment, but suitability will be checked during your consultation.
It is not a weight-loss treatment, though some people feel lighter and less bloated afterwards. The main benefits relate to digestion, comfort, and overall gut wellbeing.
It may help if your skin issues are linked to sluggish digestion or toxin build-up. Many people notice clearer, brighter skin as their gut function improves. However, it is not a direct dermatological treatment, and results vary between individuals.
Many people feel the effects immediately—lighter, less bloated, and more comfortable. Others notice gradual improvement over the following day as digestion settles.
There is no downtime. You can return to normal activities straight away. You may feel a little tired or need to use the toilet once or twice more, but this usually passes quickly. Light meals and plenty of water are recommended afterwards.
