Myofascial Bodywork in Columbus, Ohio
Most people who book here have already tried a few things.
Deep tissue massage.
Mobility work.
Stretching routines.
Chiropractic adjustments.
Rehab exercises.
Some of it helped.
But the same patterns keep returning.
Tension that settles back into the hips or neck.
Stiffness that builds after long workdays.
Recovery that feels slower than it used to.
It stops feeling like a simple muscle issue.
That’s usually when this work makes sense.
This is fascia-focused bodywork built around how the body handles pressure and load over time.
Sessions are led with barefoot Sarga bodywork because it allows steady, controlled depth without forcing it. Broader contact. Better leverage. Pressure that can be sustained long enough for tissue to adapt instead of resist.
Assisted positioning and movement principles are layered in when they serve the goal of the session.
There’s no preset routine.
We look at how your body is organizing tension and apply work accordingly.
The aim isn’t temporary relief.
It’s change that holds.
What This Work Is
WHAT MAKES SARGA DIFFERENT
Not all barefoot bodywork is the same.
Sarga Bodywork is a myofascial method built for working with chronic tension, accumulated stress, and bodies that don’t respond to standard massage.
It is structured around:
• Sustained, even pressure instead of poking or digging
• Intentional lines of force through the body, not isolated trigger points
• Deliberate pacing that allows tissue to adapt instead of brace
Rather than forcing depth, Sarga works with the fascial and nervous systems to create change your body can actually maintain.
Clients often describe this work as:
Deep — but not aggressive.
Grounding — not draining.
Intense — without feeling attacked.
This is barefoot myofascial bodywork is designed for people whose bodies carry real load.
No trends.
No gimmicks.
Just a structured system built to produce lasting results.
Two Ways to Work
Integrated performance Bodywork
Hands-on sessions using Sarga, assisted positioning, Thai massage, and movement principles to address recurring tension patterns and stress-related tightness.
This is the starting point for most people.
Nervous System Based Breathwork
A separate, one-on-one session focused entirely on breathing mechanics and how your system handles internal pressure.
This is for when breath itself is the limiting factor.
Who Typically Benefits
This work tends to help people who:
Train regularly but feel chronically tight.
Work demanding jobs and carry mental load into their body.
Feel like they’re managing tension rather than changing it.
Want something more deliberate than a standard massage routine.
It’s not designed as a spa experience.
It’s structured work.
About Nic
I work at the intersection of stress, structure, and performance.
My background spans paramedicine, strength and conditioning, respiratory training, and advanced manual therapy. Over time, I’ve integrated the most effective elements from each into a focused approach built around real physiology, not trends.
This work isn’t mystical.
It isn’t performative.
And it isn’t built on promises.
It’s applied anatomy, pressure mechanics, and nervous system regulation delivered with precision.
I committed to Sarga Bodywork because it consistently solved problems that hands-only techniques could not, especially in people who train hard, carry responsibility, and operate under constant load.
Strength training taught me how bodies produce force.
Paramedicine taught me how systems fail under stress.
Breathwork revealed how pressure organizes everything in between.
This practice brings those threads together.
If you’re looking for quick fixes, this won’t be a fit.
If you’re looking for clarity, depth, and long-term change in how your body actually functions, you’re in the right place.
