Registered Massage Therapy for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Dec 26, 2023Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body including skin, muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Registered massage therapy is a clinically oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate discomfort caused by everyday and occupational stresses, muscular overuse, and many chronic pain conditions. Many people are discovering the benefits, both short term and long term, of receiving regular massage therapy treatments. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at regular intervals is truly an investment in your health. Many insurance companies cover massage therapy as part of their health care benefits.

My name is Heidi Hackenspiel and I have been a Registered Massage Therapist for over 11 years. I have witnessed, firsthand, the many wonderful benefits of massage. My specialties include relaxation, deep tissue, pregnancy, and trigger point therapy. I have taken many continuing education courses over the years in order to improve my skills as a therapist and provide my clients with the best care possible. I am very lucky to be working in a profession that I believe in and truly love.
In addition to providing house call treatments, I have recently opened a home clinic in Newmarket to provide my clients with a warm and comfortable environment. I am available to book appointments Monday to Saturday, morning to evening. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment.
