Sarga Bodywork & Myofascial Massage Therapy in Rocky Hill, Connecticut

Hi! I'm Lisa DiGirolamo, a licensed massage therapist specializing in Sarga Bodywork: a barefoot myofascial massage technique designed to restore mobility, release chronic tension and address pain at its source.

Serving Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Newington, Cromwell, Berlin, Glastonbury and greater Hartford County.

Therapeutic massage for lasting relief.

As a licensed massage therapist (LMT) and certified Sarga Bodywork instructor in Rocky Hill, CT, I approach bodywork as essential healthcare. My practice focuses on myofascial release, chronic pain relief, and restoring functional movement through specialized barefoot massage techniques.

Whether you're dealing with back pain, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery or fascial restrictions, Sarga Bodywork offers a clinical approach to massage therapy that addresses underlying patterns rather than providing temporary relief.

Sarga Bodywork is a specialized form of barefoot massage that combines ancient healing techniques with modern fascia science.

As one of only seven NCBTMB-approved Sarga Bodywork instructors globally and the first certified on mainland USA, I bring this advanced modality to clients throughout Connecticut.

This technique uses a fabric strap system fastened to the massage table, allowing controlled leverage and tensional force. By applying sustained, oblique pressure with my bare feet, I can access multiple layers of connective tissue to facilitate fascial release, tissue hydration and improved mobility.

The science of barefoot myofascial release.

The human foot contains approximately 200,000 nerve endings, making it an exceptionally sensitive tool for therapeutic touch. This dense innervation allows for precise, responsive pressure that adapts to your body's feedback in real time.

Sarga Bodywork emphasizes myofascial technique: slow, sustained, high-tack contact designed to stimulate a stretch response in fascia associated with muscle tissue. This approach is particularly effective for addressing chronic pain, restricted range of motion, and compensation patterns.

Clinical hygiene standards.

As both a Sarga Bodywork practitioner and instructor, I maintain rigorous hygiene protocols:

  • Complete foot washing and sanitization before and after every massage session

  • Dedicated sanitized footwear worn exclusively in the treatment space

  • Consistent foot care including regular exfoliation, nail care, and skin maintenance

Your safety and comfort are foundational to every session.

What People Are Saying

  • "My second baby gave me a herniated disc that caused crippling pain. Lisa knew exactly how to work the area to give me much needed relief. With deep tissue and cupping, I finally started feeling better. I can honestly say she is a miracle worker."

    — K.T.

  • "I went to my doctor for awful low back pain, who couldn't help. Then I tried a chiropractor, but after a few sessions the pain was worse—sharp, shooting pains every 2 to 4 minutes. Lisa took me in quickly. One session, and it all started feeling right. I haven't felt pain since."

    — K.H.

  • "Lisa approaches her work as a healthcare practitioner with an artist's understanding of the body. She understands movement, the musculoskeletal system, and the body-mind connection. Lisa brings the highest level of professionalism to her work."

     — D.T., Licensed Massage Therapist

  • "As a massage therapist myself, Lisa is my go-to girl! She intuitively seems to know what I need. After my hip surgery, she relieved pain and compensatory patterns and truly helped in my healing process."

    — S.B., Licensed Massage Therapist

  • "Lisa has been my therapist for over a decade. She is the best! I lift and train heavy, and she has always been able to fix me up properly. You will not regret a visit to this amazing human."

My canine colleague is often present during office hours. Bruno isn’t great at doing computer work or fetching coffee, but he is excellent at stealing hearts and offering emotional support during sessions. He will definitely ask for pets and expect you to tell him he is handsome. Consider yourself forewarned.
