As of April 2023, Natalie Heller has been strengthening team Chiropractie Leiden. We had been looking for someone who can complement the chiropractic treatment with the right massage techniques and therapeutic exercises for a long time. Someone who shares our vision, where the needs of the person are central. Natalie is someone with a lot of knowledge of the functioning and relaxation of muscles. This therapist is familiar with the dance world. After international experience with various dance groups, she teaches dance techniques at Leiden University in the Netherlands. She also studied French and philosophy at Oxford University in England. She is half Greek and half English but has been living in the Netherlands for a long time. She therefore speaks excellent Dutch. She also has a French partner and two sweet children aged 5 and 7.
Natalie is happy to help you relax your muscles and teach you how to stand, sit and move in 60-minute sessions. Soft tissue massage and the right exercises for core strengthening are the ideal formula for supporting your chiropractic treatment. Her focus will be on the recovery of muscles and tendons. Natalie uses different ‘myofascial techniques’ that will release unnecessary tension in the muscles and connective tissue and rebalance ligaments. During the session Natalie will check for blockages with the myofascial systems. Her therapeutic techniques are aimed at prevention, treatment and performance improvement. It is ideal to book this in combination with your chiropractic appointment. But of course you can also make a separate appointment for Natalie at our frontdesk.
