Lymphatic Massage
The TK Method™ Lymphatic Massage
Created by Tiana Kara, the TK Method™ combines principles and techniques from Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Brazilian-style lymphatic massage to create an individualised treatment designed to support the body’s natural lymphatic flow.
Unlike traditional deep-tissue massage, lymphatic work does not need to be hard or painful. The lymphatic system is superficial, so treatments incorporate gentle, intentional techniques alongside more dynamic Brazilian-inspired movements where appropriate.
Rather than only focusing on the area where a client feels swollen, puffy or congested, treatment considers the body’s lymphatic pathways as a whole.
Lymphatic massage may be beneficial for clients experiencing:
- Fluid retention and puffiness
- Bloating and feelings of heaviness
- Areas of fluid congestion
- Travel-related fluid retention
- A feeling of sluggishness within the body
- Those wanting to support healthy lymphatic flow
- Relaxation and nervous-system regulation
- General wellbeing and body maintenance
New clients are generally recommended to begin with the 1 hour 40 minute full-body treatment.
This gives us enough time to work comprehensively through the body and major lymphatic areas while also seeing how their individual body responds to treatment.
From there, I can recommend whether they may benefit from a series of treatments often weekly initially where appropriate before moving into maintenance appointments.
