Sarga Silks are a type of specialized fabric used in a unique form of bodywork and massage therapy called "Sarga Bodywork."

 

This technique involves using silk fabric (Sarga) attached to a massage table, allowing the practitioner to apply deep, broad, and sustained pressure using their feet, body weight, and movements. The silk provides a grip, enabling the therapist to deliver a more effective and controlled massage, particularly in deep tissue and myofascial release treatments.
