Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy: A Professional Resource for Practitioners

At Bottoms Up Colonics, we specialise in Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy. A gentle, therapist-led, water-based therapy that supports digestion, elimination, cellular hydration, and overall gut-brain-body balance.

With more than twenty years of experience, Bottoms Up Colonics has grown into a national network of trained therapists, grounded in a shared commitment to safety, education, professionalism, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Our work is based on the belief that the colon is not only a channel of elimination, but a vital foundation for whole-body wellness.

We care for a wide range of clients, from children to the elderly, including those with chronic, complex, or functional health conditions. Our therapists are trained to provide client-centred care while also working in partnership with general practitioners, naturopaths, gastroenterologists, integrative and functional medicine doctors, allied health providers, and specialists to support their patients' outcomes within a broader therapeutic framework.

This page is designed to offer clarity, confidence, and clinical insight for health professionals who want to better understand what Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy is, how it works, and how it can safely and effectively complement your care plans.

How Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy Can Support Your Patients

Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy is a complementary modality that enhances many of the outcomes you are already working to achieve with your patients:

Improved digestion and motility
Reduced gut inflammation
Nervous system regulation
Better nutrient absorption
Hydration and lymphatic flow
Support during cleansing, detoxification, or gut restoration protocols

All of our therapists are trained and certified to deliver safe, effective care and can guide your clients through personalised, complementary treatment plans. These often include microbiome-friendly dietary and lifestyle recommendations, hydration strategies, and stress regulation techniques. We're here to guide and support your clients as they work toward their health goals in alignment with your care.

Common Referrals and Clinical Conditions

  • Constipation, faecal impaction, diarrhoea, IBS, and irregular bowel function
  • Bloating, gas, intestinal permeability, or a sense of incomplete evacuation
  • Autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation
  • Fatigue, brain fog, and low energy
  • Fungal, bacterial or parasitic infections
  • Skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, or acne
  • Mood disorders and nervous system dysregulation
  • Preparation for or recovery from surgery
  • Cleansing protocols (e.g. heavy metal detox, gut repair, liver flushes)
  • Long-term medication use affecting bowel regularity and digestive function

Our approach always prioritises safety, education, and informed consent. Before recommending treatment, we take the time to understand each individual's health history, current needs, and any contraindications. Our certified therapists apply professional judgement, adhere to clinical protocols, and maintain clear, respectful communication to ensure clients feel informed, supported, and confident in the care they receive. We understand the responsibility that comes with working with complex or chronically unwell clients, and we honour that responsibility with diligence, clinical awareness, and a collaborative mindset, always supporting your work as their primary practitioner.

Closed vs Open Colon Hydrotherapy: Understanding the Difference

  • Therapist-led, fully supported approach
  • Small speculum connected to inlet and outlet tubing
  • Highest standards of hygiene and privacy
  • Therapist remains present throughout the session
  • Educational, supportive experience
  • Client inserts rectal tube themselves
  • Client manages process independently
  • Elimination into an open basin
  • Clients may feel unsupported or unsure
  • Less educational and supportive

At Bottoms Up Colonics, we exclusively use a closed system through the Rojas method. A therapist-led, fully supported approach to Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy.

During a session of Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy, the client lies comfortably while a certified practitioner gently inserts a small speculum into the rectum. This speculum is connected to inlet and outlet tubing, allowing filtered and structured water to circulate through the colon and waste to be removed discreetly via a closed system. This ensures the highest standards of hygiene, privacy, and comfort. The therapist remains present throughout the session, monitoring flow, supporting the release, and providing real-time feedback, helping clients build body awareness and better understand their digestive patterns.

By contrast, open colon hydrotherapy involves the client inserting a rectal tube themselves and managing the process independently, typically eliminating into an open basin within the treatment bed. While open systems may suit some individuals, they can leave clients feeling unsupported, unsure, or unclear about what they're experiencing.

At Bottoms Up Colonics, we believe in the value of hands-on, guided care. The Rojas method ensures each session is safe, compassionate, and educational, supporting both physical comfort and emotional confidence every step of the way.

Our Approach: What Makes Rojas Colon Hydrotherapy Different?

At Bottoms Up Colonics, our focus is on cellular hydration, not forceful elimination. The Rojas method uses a gentle, responsive fill-and-release technique designed to work with the body, not against it. This slow, intuitive approach honours the rhythm of the colon, supporting hydration, relaxation, and the parasympathetic nervous system.

Unlike techniques that rely on aggressive filling or abdominal pressure to provoke release, the Rojas technique prioritises deep hydration to naturally encourage elimination and restore balance.

Key Elements of the Rojas Approach:

  • A slow, gentle fill-and-release technique, guided by the body, not force or pressure
  • Practitioners remain present throughout the session, offering reassurance, education, and support
  • Use of triple-filtered water to ensure purity and client safety
  • All equipment is single-use, BPA-free, and FDA/TGA-approved, maintaining strict hygiene standards
  • A small, smooth speculum is gently inserted into the rectum only. It does not enter or extend into the bowel. There are no invasive instruments and no risk of perforation.
  • Designed to work in synergy with the digestive, lymphatic, and nervous systems
  • Supports cellular hydration, elimination, and whole-body restoration
  • Each session is paired with hydration guidance, nutritional insight, and personalised support plans that align with broader therapeutic care

This method is not about purging, it's about restoring the natural rhythm of elimination through hydration, nervous system regulation, and practitioner-guided care.
