STRUCTURAL BODYWORK CONSIDERATIONS

Picture
Sarga Bodywork draws inspiration from a few theories of Structural Integration (S.I.) and the work of Ida Rolf​. While Sarga is in no way a form of Structural Integration, it employs directionally oriented myofascial technique, which in our opinion is one of the most effective manual therapy methods of facilitating healthful change in the structure of the human body.
 
Following S.I. theory, Sarga Bodywork employs the idea that manual therapy techniques should generally take tissue: 1. Lateral to medial (towards the spine) and cranial to caudal (towards the sacrum) for work on the posterior thorax. 2. Caudal to cranial (towards the head) for work on the anterior thorax.
 
The combination of these techniques help in the reversal of structural inefficiency and/or common structural patterns of the ageing process whereas tissue migrates laterally, the scapulae and shoulder girdle complex migrate away from the spine, and the thorax rounds forward (concentrically shortening anteriorly/eccentrically tightening posteriorly).

​Within these techniques, the mechanisms that catalyze structural change in recipients’ bodies are uncertain; it is unknown whether changes in recipients’ connective tissue are the result of manual input (fascial sculpting), or proprioceptive input (a nervous system response). However, we believe that any changes that occur because of these inputs are at least a combination of both. Through the time-tested history of Structural Integration and our own experience practicing and receiving these techniques, we believe these changes contribute to both the health of recipients’ connective tissue and the balance of recipients’ physical structure.
