Tim Hackett, LMBT, NC License #3012
I hold certification as a SCUBA Diver and have completed numerous Tandem Skydives. As a passionate outdoors enthusiast, I am committed to hiking every waterfall in western NC. These pursuits are just a couple of the reasons why I chose to make Asheville my home.
Your journey to optimal health and movement begins here, where expertise meets personalized care.
As a state-licensed and Certified Massage Therapist, I specialize in NeuroMuscular Reprogramming, an advanced technique grounded in precise muscle testing. I can meticulously identify weakened or inhibited muscles through the NMR protocol, pinpointing imbalances that may lead to restricted motion, impairment, and chronic pain.
Leveraging over two decades of private practice experience, my expertise is correcting these imbalances through a comprehensive approach that includes Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point therapy, Swedish massage, Cupping, and Kinesio Taping. The primary objective of my practice is to enhance healthy, pain-free movement.
With a rich background in private practice, I have successfully worked with a diverse clientele, ranging from recreational runners to competitive ultra-marathoners and triathletes within the local community. Furthermore, my professional journey includes an esteemed tenure at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center for nearly five years and the Duke Center for Integrated Medicine for four years.
This extensive experience underscores my commitment to delivering top-tier massage therapy that addresses immediate concerns and contributes to overall well-being.
Since graduating from Medical Arts Massage School in 2002, I have been the owner and sole proprietor of Healing Hands Massage Therapy and Bodywork, LLC. Located at 1070 Tunnel Road, Building 2, Suite 100, inside WildHawk Physical Therapy, my practice is conveniently situated up the hill from Pomodoros Greek and Italian Restaurant.
I take pride in fostering professional relationships with the medical and alternative health community, collaborating with chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, Physical Therapists, other Massage Therapists, Pilates, and yoga instructors.
