What is Sarga Bodywork?
Sarga Bodywork is a type of barefoot massage that uses high-friction oblique strokes to create length, hydration, and relaxation in the body to allow for better posture and alignment. A Sarga Strap (a piece of fabric) is secured to the table and helps to balance the practitioner but more importantly, it is the foundation for the tensional force needed to give adequate pressure. When the practitioner pulls up on the strap the force is directed down into the client. This action is called "Tensegrity".
What makes Sarga Bodywork so effective is the slow, high-friction consistent pressure that allows for this myofascial technique to create a stretch response in the tissues. Since the foot is such a broad tool this type of work is great for those that don't usually receive deep tissue or myofascial work. Give this unique type of bodywork a try and experience relief as you have never felt through traditional massage.
Sarga Bodywork is excellent for athletes, surfers, paddlers, windsurfers, cross-fitters, or anyone needing a good flush.
Sarga Bodywork is contraindicated for the following conditions:

Love the deep, broad pressure to the large muscle groups as well as spreading and stretching the hands and forearms."

It's truly amazing and I really enjoyed the technique of the bigger surface area that the feet cover compared to hands, fingers or forearms."

Sarga Bodywork felt more thorough and deeper than other massages. The feeling in my body following Sarga was a sensation similar to the way I feel after acupuncture."
