Tanga Okondo-Totterdell
Scar Tissue Release Therapist in London

Tanga has a peaceful complimentary health practice in Dulwich, where she helps clients manage conditions such as lymphoedema, using the gentle technique of manual lymphatic drainage (Vodder DLT, Austria). She facilitates recovery from injury, pain and surgical procedures, using techniques that reduce scar tissue and muscle contracture (including kinesiotape and deep oscillation therapy). Tanga's body massage style targets musculoskeletal and postural problems, aiding deep relaxation - and her light skin techniques on the face address patterns of tension, encouraging a fresh and youthful look.

Approach to Scar Tissue Release & How I Work

Therapy is my fascination and my privilege. I create a quiet healing space for clients to unwind and re-energize, and believe both complimentary and conventional approaches to health can work together for the best results.
My vision is supporting the lymphatic (immune) system, facilitating optimal muscle-to-bone communication and holding the space for others to allow themselves to be exactly who they are.
