When it comes to shaping your body, sometimes you need a little boost.

The Body Clinic offers the newest technology and passionate therapists to help you feel good from the inside out. The best bit? Your confidence gets a boost as well.

When it comes to sculpting your body, there are a lot of elements that come into play. Genetics, exercise, diet, and lifestyle choices. Do you drink enough water? Do you get enough sleep? How well do you deal with stress?

Sometimes, you feel you’re doing everything you can get to achieve your best body but you still need a little boost. It might be stubborn love handles, bingo lady arms, saddle bags, a stomach pouch, back fat or any other strange name we’ve nicknamed those areas so many of us struggle to embrace.

That’s where technology comes in. There are many non-invasive body shaping treatments available today, from fat freezing technology, to ultrasonic cavitation, radio-frequency techniques, lymphatic drainage suits and even modernised full-body massage rollers.

The Body Clinic is a North Queensland institution

The Body Clinic, formally Slimland, is a North Queensland institution. It’s a boutique clinic with personalised service, offering a range of state-of-the-art treatments specifically targeted at body shaping.

In 2020, almost 11 years since opening Slimland on Charters Towers Road, owner Martina Albrechtova rebranded to The Body Clinic, and works alongside her daughter Eva.

“All of our treatments are for everyone, not just women,” says Martina. The clinic’s customer base is around 60% women and 40% men.

“We’re big on body positivity,” adds Eva. “Everyone’s body is different and shaping it isn’t necessarily about slimming, or aiming for unrealistic changes. Our treatments are about helping people feel good, and look the best for their body. Many of our clients are already active clients, and just need assistance with specific, stubborn areas. Other clients want to start at the gym but need a confidence boost before they begin.”

Such treatments include a lymphatic drainage suit, that uses pressure to massage your feet, legs and up to your waist. “The lymphatic system pretty much cleans out the rubbish from your body, so when people get sick you feel your lymph nodes are swollen,” explains Eva. “So, in a way, your lymphatic system is like the cleaner for your body. It’s also really good for athletic recovery.”

Another is the rolletic massager, a large European massage machine that reduces fat pads, improves muscle tone and mobilises lymphatic flow. “One hour on the rolletic massager feels like three hours in the gym,” says Martina.

Pre-Covid, the team travelled to Hong Kong for a global beauty expo and returned with four high-tech body shaping machines – EMshape (to burn fat and build muscle), radio frequency (for skin tightening), ultrasonic cavitation (to remove stubborn fat pockets) and fat freezing (to permanently remove fat cells). And since this time have introduced four even newer machines keeping abreast of world class advancement in technology to bring you the very best treatments on the market.
