Hello! My name is Heidi Rushing. I am one of two Massage Therapists, here at Heartland Chiropractic and Wellness Center.
I graduated from Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School in October, 2006. Over the years following graduation, I have come to specialize in massage that is focused on specific body issues, ranging from back and neck pain to the ease of carpal tunnel syndrome. I tend to use a blend of stretching, Positional Release, and Trigger Point Therapy to help relieve tight muscles and areas of discomfort.
When I'm not working at HCWC or on never-ending house projects, I enjoy running, biking and rollerblading. I reside in Ankeny with my husband, Jerimie, and our Golden Retriever, Lucy.
Give us a call and set up an appointment with me! I'd love to help you achieve a pain-free lifestyle!

My name is Kristi Mangler. I am a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa in Psychology, but my love of wellness through massage therapy pulled me in that direction. In 2007 I completed my training for Massage Therapy at Milan Institute in California and began my practice, that same year I returned to Iowa

testimonial
I started seeing Dr. Skow when I was pregnant to help ease some pains with pregnancy and now am taking my 5 month old for adjustments. My daughter seemed to have a lot of digestion issues and going to Dr. Skow has made her a different baby. She is so much happier and content. I know I was skeptical at first but both my husband and I are so happy we did as we can see a major difference!
