Active Release Techniques® (ART®) is a highly specific, movement-based approach to soft-tissue work used to address areas of restriction, tension, or reduced mobility.
Unlike general massage, ART® focuses on specific tissues and movement patterns to help the client find relief. Sessions may involve gentle, guided movement while targeted pressure is applied to affected soft tissue.
Because the work is precise, 30 minute follow-up sessions are available to established clients for $75.
Many clients notice meaningful changes within the first few sessions, including improved ease of movement, reduced tension, or greater body awareness. Experiences vary, and sessions are paced to support both the tissue and the nervous system.
Hessy Middlebrook is a Certified Active Release Techniques® Provider, with advanced training in precise soft-tissue work and manual lymphatic drainage. ART® is used selectively and thoughtfully, as part of a broader, recovery-focused approach to care. Ongoing annual training and biannual recertification is required.
When working with a tight hip or surrounding musculature, a client may be guided through slow, controlled movements while targeted pressure is applied to the involved tissue. This combination of movement and contact helps identify and release areas of restriction without forcing the tissue.
