About

17 years of experience as a Massage Therapist has taught me many things about how the body works, and why it doesn't work well. I primarily use NeuroMuscular Reprogramming, a detailed protocol based on specific muscle testing. This allows me to have a conversation with the client's body and ask which muscles are working and which are not.

I have been working with Tim for a little over a year now. Chronic pain from a long ago car accident, chronic pain from Lyme disease and pain from 2 shoulder surgeries brought me to his practice. This particular massage modality has given me better posture, reduced my baseline pain level and has helped improve my balance. Tim is a gifted intuitive massage therapist who also has a very strong knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics. If you have been dismissed by physical therapy as "permanent and stationary" or are not getting enough relief from other treatments, I highly encourage you to book a session with Tim. His method is painless and can have powerful results. More...

I've been to many different massage therapists over the years, usually for deep tissue &/or stone massage.  I have extreme neck & upper shoulder tension & knots, some lower back issues.   I went to Tim when I was in far more serious pain & he's the only one I've needed for past 3+ years.  This is not a basic massage, he's trained in neuromuscular reprogramming so the focus on getting the muscles to respond properly - far more holistic and therapeutic.  After an injury, he helped my muscles start responding again & recommended a fantastic chiropractor when I needed that.  He asks a lot of questions to fully understand each patient's specific issues and what's working or not.  I trust him to take great care of me, and I try to heed his recommendations as well.  This is the only MT I've ever recommended...and I recommend him when a friend REALLY needs professional help, not a basic rubdown.

As an avid equestrienne, I especially appreciate Tim's skill in NMR because it helps me correct compensations that lead to stiffness.

Tim @ Healing Hands Massage Therapy is an excellent massage therapist.  I'v been going to Tim for 5 yrs. for different injuries at different times.  He has extensive knowledge of the body and how everything works together.  The area I think he is best at is neuromuscular reprogramming. He has reprogrammed my foot, hip, lower back, shoulder to work the correct way not the way my body wanted it to work, which was causing the pain I was in. He is also good at giving you different techniques like stretches, exercises, or anything that will help alleviate the problem.  Tim is a great listener and always makes sure he knows what you want to accomplish or what is the goal.  He is very professional and takes great care to make sure you are comfortable. Tim's pricing is very reasonable and you will definitely get your monies worth. Give him a try.  I think you will be very pleased. More...

I started seeing Tim a month ago on the recommendation of a friend. He is excellent. He knows how to find what needs to be worked on and how to work on it. I have noticed improved range of motion and posture in the 3 sessions I have had so far. It is difficult to find a good massage therapist and I definitely recommend Tim as a very good one. More...

A great friend gave me a gift certificate for a session with Tim, but I had to wait to use it due to an injury and subsequent surgery on my leg. The first time I arrived to see him, I was about 8 weeks post op and still limping constantly. Tim's approach was to reawaken the muscles that had gone dormant during my recovery, to recover symmetry of movement. After that one session, the limp was gone. Two more sessions, and I was able to walk and hike for hours, pain free and limp free. Highly, highly recommend, especially for injured athletes who want to get back to strength and endurance activity. More...

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 functionally 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!

After a couple of disappointing massage sessions with other therapists (Groupon deals), I decided to search the web, and I found Tim. Thank you, Google, what a find! Tim is wonderful! He is very professional and personable, and most importantly, he takes a holistic approach to massage therapy. I made my first appointment just to get some kinks worked out of my back and neck, but my session turned out to be so much more. Tim asked questions and we discussed issues in a very relaxed manner. He explained why my neck and back were hurting, and gave me some good suggestions for correcting my posture, and ways to reduce the stress on my muscles and joints. I truly felt like he cared. I highly recommend Tim to anyone who may have pains from stress, poor posture or sports related injuries, you will not be disappointed. More...

This is the only massage I've had in Raleigh that I enjoyed. Tim is strong and knowledgeable in his trade, I've been a repeat customer of his for years. I have fibromyalgia and have been going to Tim to ease the symptoms, something he also knows very much about. He'll talk with me and explain what I need to do to ease the tension in my neck and back so I don't need to see him as often! Poor guy has been trying to help me correct my posture for years, I'm afraid it's a lost cause but not for lack of effort on his part. More...

Tim is excellent and my experience, relief post massage, and over all experience were fantastic... Way better than a high end spa where the therapist just does the same massage on all clients.  Tim is brilliant at what he does, takes the time to understand your goals, and is extremely knowledgable.  These massages will hopefully help me continue to manage my chronic pain.

Tim is WONDERFUL. I am by no means a massage snob but since relocating to Raleigh I have struggled to find a therapist who doesn't just give massages, but is a true healer. Someone who is intuitive, aware, and caring. I've finally found that with Tim. It's clear he is incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology, and has a unique way of utilizing that information to provide relief with his bodywork. By the end of each session I'm left feeling balanced and restored. More...

Thank you Yelp! for helping me find Tim. I read the great reviews about his practice and so I gave him a call when my lower back started to giving me a lot of pain. Tim was flexible with his schedule and was able to get me in the same day. I have pretty high standards when it comes to massage therapy, and I must say, I am very pleased with Tim's knowledge and professionalism. He was a great listener and applied my feedback into his overall strategy for the session. Rather than simply giving a massage, he helped me identify weaknesses in my muscles and issues with my posture that could be the root of my back problems. I highly recommend Healing Hands Massage Therapy and will definitely being going back. More...

Let me preface this by saying I've had some fantastic relaxation massages in the past few years, but this massage at Healing Hands Massage Therapy was better than all of them combined. I've been practicing yoga, cycling, and strength training regularly for the past few years, and one thing that I've always noticed is that I have shoulder weakness that is embarrassingly debilitating. Holding my arms over my head or holding them out while in chair pose gets exhausting quickly. Searching for a holistic way of taking care of my body, I've tried chiropractic care with limited results, and was looking for something that could help improve my strength and endurance which clearly was not happening despite my time at the gym.Tim was recommended to me by a coworker who sang his praises. Desperate to feel better, I made an appointment via the email form from his website. He responded within hours and I was all set for an appointment 4 days later. Tim works from his home and has 3 adorable rescue dogs (which is a plus for a dog lover like me). His space was clean and relaxing. I told him about the issues I have been having. I didn't specify wanting a certain type of massage so Tim just did whatever he could do to help my body. He started with some neuromuscular reprogramming which was really interesting, and moved on with some cupping as well as deep tissue work on my shoulders. It was tremendously helpful and he explained everything that he was doing and why. I plan on returning soon as after 1 session, I'm already noticing less tension in my shoulders and I'm able to hold yoga poses that are shoulder intensive for much longer. More...

I've been getting massages from Tim Hackett of Healing Hands Massage Therapy for about a year and a half.  He runs this business out of his home, and attends to patients on his off days.  His primary occupation is being a massage therapist for Duke's Diet and Wellness Center.  For those of you that don't know me, I'm muscular and quite broad.  Tim handles my knots, and my lack of flexibility well.  Other therapists I've had have had difficult times just getting into the depths of my larger muscle groups.   He's easy to talk to, knows a wide range of subjects and is always willing and able to discuss exactly what the issues are and what he thinks the focus should be prior to the next visit.  (Yes I get homework from my massage therapist).He's attentive and easy to get a hold of.    He does offer evening sessions, and is quite flexible in getting someone in, if the need is there.  As long as you give him some options, he'll more than likely be able to fit you in if you need some work.He does work on triathletes, cyclists, runners, ultra-runners, weight lifters and mountain bikers.  So he knows what each individual sport's focus points and injury prone areas are and is able to work those individual areas.  In addition, he does offer relaxation massage for those individuals that have had a rough week and just need a way to unwind and have everything loosened up.
