Barefoot myofascial massage…
As a Certified Sarga Bodywork Practitioner® l have been trained and certified in the safe and effective application of Sarga Bodywork’s proprietary barefoot myofascial massage methodology and am qualified to provide this method as a professional service. I utilize a length of fabric fastened to a massage table to aid in delivering therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques with my bare feet. This length of fabric is used for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to manual therapy methods which aim to facilitate deep relaxation and less restriction in recipients’ bodies.
Myofascial bodywork focuses on fascia, which can be visualized as white fibrous tissue encapsulating red muscle tissue. Fascia is a connective tissue that plays a crucial role in the body’s structure and function. It is also highly innervated, meaning it has a direct influence on the nervous system.
By utilizing techniques that specifically target fascia, our goal is to have a significant impact on the nervous system. This approach can be particularly effective in stimulating a parasympathetic response, which is the rest-and-digest state of the body that facilitates a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
