Traditional Kalevala Mobilisation Therapy
(TKMT)
A deeply restorative treatment rooted in Finnish tradition, Traditional Kalevala Mobilisation Therapy (TKMT) is a unique, full-body therapy that works gently but precisely to realign the body, release tension, and support lasting wellbeing. Unlike forceful manipulation or surface-level massages, TKMT addresses the root causes of musculoskeletal pain, nerve impingements, and postural imbalance— offering real, long-term results.
Currently, I am the only practitioner offering this therapy in the UK.
What is TKMT?
TKMT (“Kalevalainen Jäsenkorjaus” in Finnish) is a heritage treatment developed and modernised by Olavi Mäkelä, recognised by the Finnish Folk Healing Association. It is based on centuries-old Finnish folk wisdom and modern anatomical understanding. This holistic method gently mobilises the entire body—starting from the feet and working upwards—to improve joint function, ease muscular and fascial tension, restore nerve flow, and support circulation and overall alignment.
TKMT is not about cracking joints or applying painful pressure. It uses soft, rhythmical movements and precise techniques to guide the body back into its natural balance.
Who is TKMT for?
If you’ve been living with chronic tension, reduced mobility, or recurring pain that keeps returning after massages or physiotherapy, this treatment may be the missing piece. TKMT is especially beneficial for:
- Long-standing musculoskeletal issues
- Nerve-related conditions such as sciatica
- Repetitive strain and sedentary lifestyle discomfort
- Postural misalignment
- Headaches, migraines, or tension in the jaw, neck or back
This treatment is ideal for people who feel stuck in a cycle of temporary relief but haven’t found lasting change.
How It Works
Each session is up to 120 minutes long and designed to treat the entire body in one continuous flow. We begin at the feet, mobilising joints and releasing tension step-by-step, all the way to the head. You’ll lie comfortably on a massage table for most of the session, and for parts involving the back, neck, and spine, you may sit on a stool for better access and technique. Treatments are tailored to your needs, and you can choose how light or focused you’d like the session to be.
What Can TKMT Help With?
- Back pain, neck pain, and tension headaches
- Nerve compression, sciatica, tingling or numbness
- Reduced joint mobility and stiffness
- Muscle imbalances from sport, work, or lifestyle
- Recovery after physical exertion or stress
- Posture-related discomfort
Clients often report not just relief, but improved energy levels, better posture, easier movement, and a deep sense of relaxation.
What do past clients say?
Testimonals
“Within minutes, if not seconds, Jani had identified long-standing issues and imbalances caused by old injuries, left ignored by physios. The session gave me new feet.”
“Thank you, Jani, for a relaxing experience! It is easy to see you really care about your clients and are passionate about your work. You listen to your clients and are eager to try different ways of improving their health.”
“After the treatment I noticed instant changes in my body. During my singing lesson after Jani’s treatment it was easier to breathe in and out and to sing. For the first time ever singing felt like it should feel, easy.”
“Jani was very professional throughout the massage and I felt the benefit in some areas almost immediate. Some technique were complete new to me but very beneficial for my ailment.”
“I had a wonderful session with Jani. The session left my body lighter particularly my legs, I slept really well. Overall the experience was claiming and centring. Jani is professional in his approach and has a wonderful energy about him creating a safe space for clients.”
“I had a treatment a few weeks ago. During the treatment I felt relaxed and comfortable. Afterwards I felt my body had more movement and flexibility. The bottoms of my feet felt better. Prior to the treatment I have at times had discomfort with my feet and toes and the treatment helped to improve this. I’ve also had less shoulder pains since the treatment. I would recommend the treatment to everyone if you get the opportunity to try it.”
“I just received a treatment from Jani- I suffer from burning sensation on my feet and Jani was able to relieve it and correct the wrong posture of my foot- the session was professional and caring, also very relaxing. I would recommend this treatment, and I appreciate the knowledge that Jani has already!”
“I received a treatment from Jani, the first time I had tried the ‘Kalevala’ method. It was both relaxing and invigorating. Jani was clearly skilled, very professional and attentive. It is something I would recommend highly.”
“I cannot recommend Jani enough. I felt very safe and looked after during the treatment and really relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. Everything was flowing with ease in the body again.”
Mobile TKMT Treatments in London
Experience the full benefits of this rare Finnish therapy in the comfort of your own home. I bring the treatment table and equipment to you, allowing you to rest and recover without having to travel. All you need is a calm space, two stools, and a couple of towels or pillows (these can also be provided for a small fee).
TKMT treatments are available in-home across most of London or at select private venues, including the Finnish Church in London.
Mobile Treatment Prices
To keep things clear and fair, I offer two pricing tiers for individual mobile treatments: Standard Rate (Off-Peak) applies to appointments booked Monday–Friday before 4pm, while the Peak Rate covers all evening sessions after 4pm, weekends, and UK bank holidays. Each booking includes up to 2 hours of round-trip travel time. If reaching your location takes longer, additional travel is charged at £25 per extra 30 minutes, and you’ll always be notified in advance if this applies.

Share the Experience. Save Together.
Why keep this to yourself? Many of my regular clients turn their session into a shared, spa-style experience at home — inviting partners, family, flatmates or friends to enjoy deeply restorative bodywork together. It’s a beautiful way to pause, reconnect, and invest in your well-being — together.
When you book multiple treatments on the same day, everyone benefits. Each person receives a reduced rate compared to booking separately, and your included travel time increases — which means most clients who book for three or four people don’t pay any additional travel fees, even if they live a little further out.
Even better, each person can choose the treatment that suits them best. Someone may opt for Neural Pathway Massage, another might prefer a Signature Massage, and someone else may want Traditional Kalevala Mobilisation Therapy (TKMT). Everyone receives the care they need — tailored, focused, and personal.
And at the highest-value tier, the cost per person is equivalent to visiting me in a clinic — except you don’t need to cross London or carve out hours for travel. Instead, you can fully relax before and after your session in your own space. You save time, energy, and money — all without compromising on quality.
Some clients turn the day into a quiet ritual, with herbal tea, music, and time to rest. Others plan their bookings before a marathon, after a demanding season at work, or as part of a regular wellness tradition. The atmosphere is calm, intentional, and grounding — no waiting rooms, no rushing, just expert care brought directly to your home.
And unlike individual sessions, multi-treatment bookings aren’t affected by peak or off-peak pricing. You can book evenings, weekends, or bank holidays — and the value stays the same. These sessions take up more of my day, so I offer a simple, all-inclusive rate that gives you maximum flexibility and return.
Whether you’re planning something peaceful or social, a shared treatment day is the perfect way to prioritise both wellness and connection — all in one visit.
Need help planning it?
Just get in touch. I’ll guide you through everything you need to prepare, and bring all the essentials for a calm, professional experience in your home.
