The Centre Orchidée de l'Outaouais is a Professional School in Massage Therapy recognized by the RMPQ ( Réseau des Massothérapeutes Professionnels du Québec ), and a multi-disciplinary facility offering services in massage therapy and osteopathy.
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.
