Closed System vs. Open System Colonics: Why Feel The Heal is Miami's #1 Choice for Colon Cleansing
Miami's Premier Colon Cleansing Office — And Why It Matters Which System You Choose
If you've been searching for the best colonic in Miami, you've probably come across two types of colon hydrotherapy systems: the open system and the closed system. Just like choosing between an iPhone, a Samsung, or a Google phone — everyone has their preferences. But at Feel The Heal, we've done the research, logged the sessions, and made our choice clear: we exclusively use a closed system colonic, and here's exactly why.
What Is a Closed System Colonic?
A closed system colonic is a professional, therapist-guided colon hydrotherapy session where filtered water is gently introduced into the colon at a low-pressure flow. Unlike the open system, no pushing or bearing down is required. The water stimulates your colon's natural peristalsis — the wave-like muscle contractions that move waste through your digestive tract — giving your colon muscles a beneficial, natural workout.
At Feel The Heal, our certified colon hydrotherapists manage the entire process, including the insertion of the speculum, monitoring of fills, and ensuring your comfort and privacy throughout every release. You're never alone — a call button is always within reach for immediate assistance.
What Is an Open System Colonic?
In an open system, clients lie in a plastic tub and self-administer the process, relying heavily on their own effort to bear down and push during the session. The business is responsible for maintaining constant sterility of the tub despite the potential for accidents and splashes — a significant sanitation challenge.
Closed System vs. Open System: The Key Differences
1. Superior Sanitation — Our #1 Reason
Sanitation is non-negotiable when it comes to colon hydrotherapy. At Feel The Heal, we use 100% disposable sheets and equipment for every single session. There is no shared tub, no risk of cross-contamination, and no reliance on chemical sterilization between clients. In an open system, clients sit in a plastic tub that must be thoroughly sanitized after every use — and despite best efforts, the risk of exposure remains higher.
2. No Pushing Required — Protect Your Body
One of the most overlooked risks of the open system is the physical strain it places on the body. Constantly bearing down during a session can lead to exhaustion and even hemorrhoids. It's an uncomfortable, tiring experience that many clients find discouraging.
With a closed system, your body does the work naturally. The gentle, low-pressure water flow triggers peristalsis without any effort on your part — making the session relaxing, effective, and safe.
3. Deeper Cleanse — Water Reaches Further
Here's a fact that surprises many first-time clients: pushing too soon actually prevents water from reaching higher up in the colon. In an open system, clients often push prematurely, limiting how far the water travels and reducing the effectiveness of the cleanse.
In a closed system, because there is no pushing involved, filtered water can flow further into the colon — reaching the transverse and ascending colon — providing deeper hydration and a more thorough cleanse.
4. Advanced Monitoring Technology
At Feel The Heal, we use an advanced closed system that allows our therapists to monitor fills in real time while giving you complete privacy during releases. You also have access to a monitor that displays everything released during your session — giving you full transparency and insight into your body's detox process.
5. Massage Tools for Enhanced Results
We go beyond the basics. Our therapists provide professional massage tools to help loosen compacted stool and stimulate movement throughout the session. This hands-on approach enhances the effectiveness of every colonic and is simply not possible in a self-administered open system.
6. Absolutely No Odor
One of the biggest concerns people have about colonics is odor. With our closed system, there is no odor whatsoever. The entire process is contained, discreet, and surprisingly pleasant. Many of our clients describe their sessions as deeply relaxing — some even fall asleep!

Both Systems Work — But One Works Better for You
