"SARGA BODYWORK® is a barefoot massage method that employs the use of a fabric strap fastened to a massage table to deliver therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. This length of fabric is used by practitioners for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to specific manual therapy methods.
Sarga Bodywork marries method & design, enabling practitioners to gain tensional support and force with a fabric strap fastened to a massage table. By pulling up on the fabric while applying downward pressure, this added energy is safely and effectively transferred onto the recipient’s body. The combination of gravitational and tensional force with our methods allows practitioners to deliver consistent, oblique pressure to provide a uniquely effective myofascial therapy. We celebrate the broad, densely innervated surfaces of our feet as perhaps the most effective and intelligent tools for this purpose!" (Source).
Note: In this type of session, I am never walking on your back, nor will I ever be using both of my feet on your body at once. This is not an Ashiatsu or Thai massage. Rather, I am using my foot to slowly push your tissues forward, resulting in what many clients describe as a melting or stretching sensation. The way that I use my feet feels very similar to a massage therapist that would be using their hands, but differs in that feet can give deeper, broader, and more consistent pressure than hands can offer. Plus, it is much less physically taxing on the massage therapist's body, as well!
