Sarga bodywork is a barefoot massage method that delivers therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. These methods, applied with the broad surfaces of the feet facilitate less restriction, more relaxation, and tension relief in recipients’ bodies. The slow movement is very grounding and the recipient will feel a huge sense of rejuvenation after a Sarga bodywork session.
