Lymphatic Activation/Drainage Acu + Massage —
A Synergistic Healing Method at tonika health
This specialised treatment method designed by the tonika health team, brings together the power of integrative lymphatic drainage massage combined with acupuncture/acupressure based on ancient Chinese medicine principles to dramatically improve your body’s lymphatic fluid metabolism, helping you shift stagnant fluid trapped in the body’s tissues, enhancing aesthetics and improving your wellbeing. Book an appointment here.
The method is a multi-step process:
1. Acupressure: Strategic acupressure massage is performed on specific acupuncture channels to unblock the pathways of Chinese Medicine’s “Fluid Metabolism Axis.”
2. Acupuncture is then performed on specific acupuncture points on those pathways to activate the “Fluid Metabolism Axis,” signalling to the body to up-regulate its lymphatic circulation.
3. Integrative Lymphatic Drainage Massage techniques are then performed, stimulating and clearing the lymphatic network, promoting fluid movement, supporting detoxification, and invigorating immune-related pathways, all through intentional touch, rhythm and breath.
In some cases, flexible silicone cup-style lymphatic sliding cupping is also performed on stubborn areas of the body that require additional support in fluid movement.
This holistic balancing experience not only feels deeply soothing, but also works on multiple levels – physical and energetic – to help you feel lighter, more centred and supported in your wellbeing journey.
Perfect for clients seeking detoxification support, enhanced blood and lymphatic flow/clearance, immune health, improved aesthetics, and stress relief.
This fusion treatment honours the best of traditional Chinese medicine and modern bodywork in one integrative experience.
