Healing Hands Massage Therapy and Bodywork, LLC
About us
Hi, I'm Tim Hackett, Owner, Massage Therapist and Sole Proprietor of Healing Hands Massage Therapy and Bodywork, LLC. I have been in practice in North Raleigh since 2002, which is 17 years as of this writing making me an "old timer" in this industry! I have worked at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center as an MT and Personal Trainer, as well as Duke Integrative Medicine. This has exposed me to a diverse population that most MTs don't ever see. I specialize in NeuroMuscular Reprogramming, which is a complex technique that addresses the root causes of many pain patterns. That makes it effective, even when other techniques and therapists have not been. I work with people who are trying to avoid surgery, those who are re-habbing post surgery, those with sports injuries and those hoping to prevent them! I love to work with other health care providers like chiropractors, Physical Therapists, yoga and Pilates instructors, etc. It is always good to have multiple sets of eyes and hands working on the issue! I also accept credit cards including HSA. If you are on Worker's Comp, you can choose to work with me and I can do the paperwork with your case manager.

I've been seeing Tim for a few years. At the time I started I had many issues with SI joint and low back pain. NMR helps the right muscles get stronger and releases the problem areas. Prices are standard for massages in the Raleigh area ($95 for 90 minutes). I would definitely recommend.

Tim, who owns Healing Hands Massage Therapy has been a great find for me. He has great intuition on what is causing the pain and how to alleviate it. He has very good knowledge of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems and how they work together. I suffer from chronic headaches, some of them cause by musculoskeletal issues of my neck. Tim knows how to release trigger points and give me much more mobility in my neck which helps the the headaches. He is also very personable along with being professional. I would definitely recommend you giving Tim a try. I know you will be very happy.

Tim is an outstanding massage therapist, who in addition to the therapy he does, gives many helpful suggestions on how to improve my condition when I am not at therapy.

"Thank you for this wonderful review, I appreciate it. You have made great progress because you understand this is a team effort and have worked hard outside the treatment room. Keep up the good work!"

I highly recommend Tim for any massage work you may need. I have gone to him several times, each time I had probably waited too long for help and was in immense pain. I had been going to a different place previously and they were 8 sessions in, and I still couldn't look left without intense pain. Tim was not only able to relieve my pain significantly, I had full range of motion restored in only 2 sessions! He also provided instruction on body posture and habits to help me maintain the progress. The work feels great, but it is very functionality focused- everything he does is for a reason and he is happy to explain the how and why. My first time there I was a little apprehensive about going to a home location, but the room was quiet, clean and private. He has dogs but they are friendly and will simply sniff your leg or hand before leaving you alone. Not to mention he is very reasonably priced and does his best to work with you if you are in hard times. I will continue to sing his praises, I have tried so many places in the Triangle area, from chains like Massage Envy to acupuncturists, and they don't compare to the results Tim will get you!

Tim takes the time to ask questions, really listen, ask more questions & fully understand what's going on prior to each session. He shows concern, humor, and has great intuition about responses- communication is open & effective for understanding issues. I had weekly sessions for a month & a half...he always made sure I left in much better shape, with far more movement & less pain than when I arrived. He definitely expected to see improvement and would have referred me elsewhere if I wasn't seeing results I needed from working with him. The improvement has been awesome, I intend to back down to monthly sessions & see how things go.
Note - the studio is in his home, there are 3 friendly dogs that welcome me each week & I enjoy that. I've not been to a home studio previously but this is comfortable and I feel like one of the family by now. I'd recommend him for anyone with sports injuries, muscle issues, etc. - He is very experienced & professional, this was far more like physical therapy and deep tissue massage than I've ever been able to get from most massage centers. Payment is super easy - I use my HSA debit card to pay in seconds at end of each session & receive an email receipt for my records.

Tim is by far the best massage therapist I have ever been to.
He was able to accomplish (in just 2 or 3 sessions) much more
than any previous therapies I have had. My lower back pain was
completely gone after the 1st session. After the 3rd session I was
able to lift weights again without any neck pain or headaches.
TIm is very knowledgeable, professional and ethical. He uses
different types of therapies depending upon what your problem areas are.
Do not let the fact that he works out of his home stop you from going.
If you are concerned about that, he welcomes you to bring
someone with you.
Highly recommended!

Tim is an excellent massage therapist and extremely professional. He is considerate to your specific needs and very knowledgeable in his field. I have used his services over the past year, given out his name to others seeking a qualified massage therapist and will continue to use his services in the future. I highly recommend him.

Tim is a very conscientious and professional massage therapist. He has had extensive experience working with a variety of challenging clients at Duke medical clinics along side physicians and physical therapists. He really seemed interested in identifying the origin of my pain and finding the best solution. He will ask you about your preferences with regard to massage and treatment and do his best to accommodate them. His office is located in his home and it is very restful with soft music and lighting and adjustable table which can also be heated. I have only seen him twice and am planning to continue treatment as I do feel that something positive is happening with my alignment and releasing of the muscle tightness.
The only issue of concern is that Tim is located pretty far from my house but so far I am willing to make the drive for appointments.

Went great. Tim really worked the area of pain I had. Tim was very informative regarding some post treatment stretches. I felt better immediately and had very little post treatment discomfort. I plan on using Tim in the future.

Tim worked on a real trouble spot for me; which is a large muscle spasm that has developed on my side of my lumbar spine. This spot is very tender to the touch, and while being hard as a rock. I had minimal discomfort throughout. He explained what he was doing and the rationale behind some of the maneuvers. His voice is calm and re-assuring. He gave me several pointers on how to sit and stand to help delay a return of my symptoms. He gave me reasonable expectations as to what massage could do for me. He did not pressure me into making a return appointment, telling me instead that my body will tell me when it was time for me to return I could not have been more pleased.

Tim always does an excellent job. No "fluff and buff" here, just real therapeutic massage. I have been going to Tim for almost 10 years. I left the state for a short time and when I came back I was 45 minutes away from Tim so I tried other massage therapists. While some were better than others, none compare. Tim takes the time to understand your issues and come up with the proper treatment. He keeps up with the latest trends in his field and is well informed. He is always professional and his studio is clean, calming, and well equipped. My visit on 6/15 was great. He worked on my neck and shoulders for 90 minutes, releasing all the tension that had built up over the last six months. I felt rejuvenated afterwards! Even though I have to drive 45 minutes, I will be seeing Tim on a regular basis again. Trying to find someone closer to home just isn't worth it. Massage is as personal as a doctor's visit. You have to feel comfortable with your massage therapist or it just won't be a worthwhile experience. Tim has a knack for making you feel totally at ease so you get the most out of your massage. I would recommend him to anyone that has a need for massage therapy (and we all do!).

"Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to submit such a detailed review! I treasure my long time clients and I am happy that you are back in the area. I appreciate you making the effort to drive 45 minutes each way to see me! That is a real commitment and I do my best to make it worth your while."

Tim was great. I was having tightness around my shoulder and he's great at finding the spot and he'll have you gently push and he'll pull. He's just interactive, I really like his massages.

Response from Healing Hands Massage Therapy and Bodywork, LLC
"Thank you, (Member name removed)! I love working with athletes like you and getting them back to enjoying their activities. When choosing a Massage Therapist, it is important to ask them how much experience they have with your particular sport, injury or situation. With 11 years of active practice under my belt, I have seen MANY types of injuries and maladies and have a very good success rate. I work with elite athletes, desk jockeys, weekend warriors, you name it. If a body has pain, there is a way to manage it. If I cannot help you, I will get you to someone who can. Another advantage of my longevity is my network of friends and colleagues that I refer my clients to when I am not able to help them as much as I want to."
