Sarga Bodywork & Myofascial Massage Therapy in Rocky Hill, Connecticut

Hi! I'm Lisa DiGirolamo, a licensed massage therapist and certified Sarga Bodywork instructor. I specialize in barefoot myofascial massage that helps restore mobility, ease 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.

I approach therapeutic massage and bodywork as essential healthcare. My practice focuses on myofascial release, chronic pain relief, and restoring functional movement through advanced barefoot massage techniques.

If you're dealing with back pain, sports injuries, fascial restrictions, or long-standing tension patterns, Sarga Bodywork offers a precise, clinical approach that supports real functional change, not just temporary relief. My goal is to help you elevate your overall function and resilience, and feel at home in your body again.

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

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

Using a unique fabric strap system attached to the massage table, I’m able to work with controlled leverage, tensional force, and sustained, oblique pressure. With my feet, I can access deeper layers of connective tissue, encourage fascial glide, improve tissue hydration, and help your body regain efficient movement... all while keeping you comfortable and supported.

The science of barefoot myofascial release.

Feet are amazing tools for massage because they are so highly sensitive: each foot contains over 200,000 nerve endings! (A hand only has about 17,000.) This dense innervation allows me to respond instantly to your body’s feedback.

Sarga Bodywork emphasizes myofascial technique: slow, sustained, high-tack contact designed to stretch fascia associated with muscle tissue. It is particularly effective for chronic pain, restricted range of motion, repetitive strain, and postural compensation.

Think of it as bodywork that listens, and responds to your body in real time.

Clinical hygiene standards.

Because I work barefoot, hygiene is a top priority:

  • Thorough foot washing and sanitization before and after every session

  • Dedicated, sanitized footwear used only in the office

  • Regular foot care, exfoliation, and nail maintenance

Your safety and comfort are central to everything I do.

Conditions Treated with Sarga Bodywork

If you recognize yourself here, your body is ready to reset:

  • Chronic tension held in your neck and shoulders

  • Back pain or sciatica

  • That deep ache that comes from always being “on”

  • Restricted range of motion

  • Tension headaches from stress

  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain

  • Inefficient postural patterns that have become your “normal”

  • The general sense that your body doesn’t feel like home anymore

What Happens in a Massage Therapy Session

Your nervous system shifts from protection to rest.

Through slow, sustained pressure, Sarga works directly with your fascia and your body’s innate intelligence. You get the deep rest that’s rare and necessary.

You experience actual ease and improved function.

Better mobility. More space in your body. Less pain. The tangible shift in how your body moves and feels.

You learn what it’s like to prioritize your own health.

In a culture that rewards constant doing, receiving care can feel foreign. Sarga creates the experience of what it feels like to be supported, and deeply relaxed.

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."

  • "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."
