Licensed Massage Therapist
Outstretched Arm Medical Massage is locally owned and operated by Licensed Massage Therapist Robin Adley Hartman.
Robin has lived in Durango since 2016 and has been practicing massage therapy for 15 years. She received her Bachelor of Science in Anatomy & Physiology from Colorado State University. She then received her massage therapy license from the Healing Arts Institute in Fort Collins.
She specializes in body rebalancing using both active and passive neuromuscular techniques, myofacial release, trigger point release, and cranial-sacral therapy. She can also offer additional home exercises and stretches that reinforce hands-on treatments. These therapies are extremely helpful to keep athletes moving and following their passions.
Robin is passionate about her faith, her four kids, her work, her physical fitness training in crossfit and jiu jitsu, horses, and exploring this wonderful world.
Whole body analysis is used to assess acute injuries, chronic pain, and tension. These sessions involve active neuromuscular therapy to reprogram the resting length of muscles in order to find proper balance over joints and axes of the body.
My focus is on your mobility and keeping you moving by detecting key places that need releasing in order to prevent and treat injuries from intense physical demands.
Resetting muscle resting length is vital during pregnancy. These sessions offer extra hot stone massage as we use mild neuromuscular therapy to accomodate the vast changes the body experiences during this time.
“I tend to overwork my body and muscles pretty regularly. I like to mountain bike and I do crossfit 5+ times a week. Thanks to Robin I am able to keep moving and doing the activities that make me happy.”

“I went to see Robin to help me with my rehab after shoulder surgery. Not only has she done wonders with my shoulder recovery but has also worked lots of kinks out of my entire body. What a blessing she has been! I would recommend her to anyone.”

“It's difficult to put into words the skills and instinct Robin possesses. The most succinct statement I can express is she gives me back my body. Whether I have a physical injury or stress, she has a gift of isolating issues and providing relief beyond compare.”

“I train and instruct Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxking; both of these take a massive toll on your body. I've searched for years for someone who could use body work therapy/medical massage to help me endure the stresses I put on my body. Robin has changed my life with her work. She doesn't do a 'spa massage', she listens to you and then listens to your body, she's amazing. I've recommended multiple people to her and every one of them feels the same.”
