In Japanese, the word "Ashi" means foot and "Atsu" means pressure with.  Ashiatsu therapy SARGA BODYWORK & DEEPFEET BAR THERAPY are techniques where the therapist works with the feet with deep movements and constant pressure while using the weight of the body. They work with gravity and not against it. The ashiatsu therapist is able to provide effective treatment without causing pain or discomfort to the therapist.

Sarga Bodywork

SARGA BODYWORK's educational programs and proprietary products offer bodyworkers a unique and comprehensive system that is as effective as it is elegant. Sarga Bodywork’s courses train and certify practitioners in their distinctive methodology. Their proprietary products facilitate a creative, efficient, and completely mobile application of these methods.

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 fabric strap is used by practitioners for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to specific manual therapy methods. These methods, combined with the broad contact surface of the foot facilitate less restriction and more ease and relaxation in recipients’ bodies.

SARGA BODYWORK MARRIES METHOD AND DESIGN, enabling practitioners to gain tensional support and force with a fabric strap fastened to a massage table or floor-mat via their proprietary equipment. In addition to support, the Sarga Strap can be transformed into a variety of tools, and facilitates a wide range of body mechanics for the practitioner. By pulling up on the strap while applying downward pressure, practitioners gain tensional force that can then be transferred onto the recipient’s body. Utilizing high-friction lubrication, gravitational and tensional force, practitioners can deliver consistent, oblique pressure to provide a uniquely effective myofascial therapy.
