Slim but Still Have a Lower Belly Pouch? Here’s What Might Be Going On
You eat well. You move your body. You’re not trying to lose weight — but no matter what you do, that little lower belly pouch just won’t budge.
Sound familiar?
At The Body Roll Studio in Takapuna, we hear this all the time — especially from women who are slim, strong, and still feeling frustrated by what looks (and feels) like stubborn fat.
But here’s the thing: it might not be fat at all.
It could be fluid retention, poor lymphatic flow, or inflammation — and our clients are seeing real change when they start supporting their body from the inside out.
🩷 The Real Reason That Pouch Isn’t Going Away
The lower belly area is a lymphatic hot spot. When your lymph flow is sluggish — due to sitting too much, stress, hormones, or just life — your body can hold on to:
Water retention
Toxins and waste
Inflammation
Puffiness and tight fascia
No matter how many ab workouts you do, you can’t sweat or crunch away a stuck lymphatic system.
🔥 How Infrared Body Rolling Helps Flatten & De-Puff
Our infrared roller machines use gentle pressure and heat to:
Stimulate lymphatic drainage in the lower belly + hips
Reduce bloating, puffiness, and fluid retention
Improve circulation and help you feel lighter
Smooth fascia and support better digestion + detox
Clients often say they look flatter, but more importantly — they feel less inflamed and more connected to their core.
✨ It’s Not About Weight Loss — It’s About Resetting
This isn’t a fat-blasting quick fix. It’s a wellness treatment that helps your body:
Move better
Release what it’s holding
Feel lighter, tighter, and more energised
And when you combine it with healthy movement and hydration? That’s when the magic happens.
✨ Feel good. Look good. Do good.✨

FAQs: Lower Belly Puffiness + Lymphatic Massage
Is this just for people trying to lose weight?
Not at all. Many of our clients are slim and just want to feel less bloated, puffy, or stuck in their lower belly.
Can this help with water retention or hormonal bloating?
Yes — especially during PMS or if you sit for long periods. It helps flush fluid and reduce that “tight jeans” feeling. Although we don’t recommend rolling on your first cycle day.
Will I see results after one session?
Some people feel flatter and lighter after just one session. Consistency is key if it’s something you’ve struggled with for a while.
Is this a body sculpting treatment?
Yes — but it’s more about smoothing, releasing, and resetting than fat loss. Think of it as a body tune-up that supports how you already look and feel.
