Yes, it’s a drive. Here’s why many still make the trip to Armadale.

Torquay has its own rhythm: early-morning waves at Bells Beach, sandy kids in the car, fish-and-chips that somehow taste better by the water, weekends that blur into salt and sun. When your middle feels tight, bloated or “off,” a gentle open-system colonic can help you reset. We know Armadale isn’t around the corner; it’s roughly a 1.5-hour, ~100 km drive via the M1 (traffic dependent). But for many Surf Coast locals, the closest, high-quality option

with a calm, private open-system setup is our Armadale clinic. If you time it right and bundle

a few things into the day, the trip can be very worth it.

Colonic Irrigation for Residents of Torquay

Why Torquay clients still choose Armadale

1. Quality and privacy first.

We use a modern open system that prioritises independence and comfort. You self-insert a small, pencil-thin nozzle in privacy; warm, gravity-fed water supports natural release into a ventilated basin. A practitioner is nearby if you’d like reassurance; not hovering, not rushing.

2. Experience that shows.

We’ve supported Melbourne clients since 1999 . That longevity shows up in how we explain things clearly, keep the room calm, and help you choose a sensible cadence rather than pushing packages.

3. Make the drive count.

Torquay clients often stack appointments and errands so the day feels efficient and restorative, not just “a long drive for one thing.”

• Pair your colonic with a 30–40 min infrared sauna (before or after).
• Add an adjunct irrigation by preference (herbal / coffee/alkaline).
• Do a two-stop city run: clinic and other errands (grocer, specialist, kids’ gear).
• Book two sessions in one week (e.g., Mon + Thu) and knock out other tasks while you’re in Melbourne.

What colonics actually do

Colonic irrigation (also called colon hydrotherapy) uses purified, body-temperature water to gently encourage your colon to release built-up waste and gas. On an open system, there’s no pressure forcing anything; you set the pace. Most clients describe the session as quiet, private and surprisingly relaxing; more “spa” than “medical.”

Common reasons people book from Torquay and surrounds:

• A bloated, heavy feeling after travel, events or rich food
• A reset when you want to dial in hydration, food and sleep
• Support for regularity, alongside fibre and movement
• A monthly or seasonal maintenance nudge that keeps life feeling easier

We keep expectations realistic: a colonic is support, not a cure-all. Your body tells you if it’s worth repeating.

Open vs closed colonics—why the experience matters

A. Insertion

• Closed: Larger speculum, therapist-held.
• Open: Small nozzle, self-inserted in privacy.

B. Control & privacy

• Closed: Therapist manages flow and releases.
• Open: You set the pace; practitioner nearby if needed.

C. Water flow

• Closed: Therapist-controlled.
• Open: Gravity-fed, gentle, unforced.

If you value independence and minimal fuss, the open system tends to feel calmer and more natural.

Your visit (what it’s like, door to door)

Session length: plan for 45–60 minutes on-site.

1. Arrival & walkthrough – We orient you, answer questions, and explain normal sensations.
2. Private set-up – You prepare in privacy and get comfortable; lubricant and supports are provided.
3. Gentle cleanse – Warm water flows by gravity; you can pause, continue, and make small position changes that encourage natural release.
4. Afterwards – Take a few minutes to finish releasing and compose yourself. Many people feel lighter, settled and pleasantly sleepy-calm; perfect for an easy drive home and an early night.

Making a Torquay day of it

• Stack your wellness: Sauna + colonic in one visit is a popular combo.
• Choose a quiet traffic window: Mid-morning or early afternoon often feels smoother than peak hours.
• Keep food simple: Plan a light lunch/dinner and hydrate steadily. You’ll feel better on the return trip.
• Try a short series: If you’re doing a reset, two sessions a few weeks apart can be more impactful than one.

Before & after (simple, sensible)

Before you set off

• Hydrate well the day before and morning of your session.
• Keep meals moderate; skip especially heavy or very spicy dinners the night before.
• Wear comfortable clothing and give yourself a little buffer for parking and arrival.

After your session

• Keep sipping water and herbal teas.
• Choose light meals (soups, steamed veg, light proteins) for the next one or two.
• If you feel pleasantly tired, embrace it, take a short walk, have an early night, and put the phone on silent.

Safety first

Colonics are gentle and non-surgical, but they aren’t appropriate for everyone. Please do not book if you have severe inflammatory bowel conditions, recent abdominal surgery, active bleeding, uncontrolled hypertension, or if you are pregnant (not an exhaustive list). If you’re unsure, speak with your healthcare professional first—we’re happy to discuss practicalities.

Why Surf Coast clients say they return

• “Private and unhurried.” Independence reduced awkwardness.
• “No pushy packages.” We recommend trying one, then deciding your own cadence.
• “Worth the drive when stacked.” Sauna + colonic + one city errand = a day that feels productive and restorative.

Wheechair Accessibility

Our clinic is not wheelchair accessible. This is due to the design of the LIBBE open-system device, which requires clients to independently access the unit and position themselves in a private area. We don’t have the equipment or staff support for assisted transfers.
