During this time of year, many people fall blissfully in love with holidays, decorations and the idea of time with family. But for many others, this time of year brings chaos, anxiety and depression. “I am not trying to bring anyone down, but I believe we need to address the real issues of the holidays and find our way back to that bliss,” says Dr. Tonya Butler, a disabled military veteran that has suffered from depression, PTSD and a traumatic brain injury as a result of her service. Butler started her business, Dynamic Therapeutics, to help others find alternative therapies to move through the things that can hinder the bliss in life.

Dynamic Therapeutics is not a spa, rather it has a mission to educate about the other side to massage therapy that aids in soft tissue repair, corrective movement and enhanced quality of life through pain management. “Patients leave these sessions feeling empowered to take control of their health,” says Butler. “Massage therapy helped me with chronic pain and to gain a better understanding of how to take care of my body for better function and healing.”

This season, find bliss, let go of expectations and be in the moment. If there is anything to be learned from the last couple years, it is to appreciate others and to take time to be together and share the love.

“For those suffering from chronic pain issues such as plantar fasciitis, back or neck pain, fibromyalgia, or other issues, our goal is to restore a greater quality of life to you,” says Butler.
