Ben Antar, LMT

Ben approaches care like a performance: every structure influences the whole. His sessions are built around restoring coordinated movement rather than chasing isolated tension.

Ben’s approach to massage therapy is rooted in the understanding that the body functions as an interconnected system. Graduating as Valedictorian from the Cortiva Institute in 2019, he developed an orthopedic foundation early in his training and has continued refining his ability to identify and address movement imbalances.

As both a therapist and performer, Ben appreciates how subtle restrictions can affect rhythm, coordination, and overall performance. He approaches sessions with an emphasis on restoring healthy, fluid mobility rather than simply reducing surface tension. Deep tissue work, myofascial release, active and passive stretching, trigger point therapy, and Swedish circulation techniques are integrated thoughtfully—never randomly applied.

Clients often describe his sessions as structured yet seamless. Ben pays attention to how tension in one region may be compensating for instability or restriction elsewhere. By addressing these relationships, he helps clients regain a sense of grounded balance throughout the body.

Outside the studio, Ben enjoys playing and listening to music, hiking throughout the Hudson Valley, and hosting competitive board game nights with friends. (If you have a favorite artist, hiking recommendation, or strategy game—he’s all ears.)

Relevant training—and what it means for your care.
