Wellness vs. Rehabilitation

Wellness = Staying Well vs. Rehabilitation = Becoming Well Again After Being Injured or Sick

Which one would you prefer?  In today’s society, we have become accustomed to the concept of “dealing with it” when it comes to aches and pains that irritate, annoy or pain us.  That may function well for you in other areas of your life, but when it comes to your body, it definitely is detrimental and NOT positive.  The more you “deal with it”, the more dysfunctional your body becomes.  The longer you wait to address these body issues, the more compounded they become.  What started out as something quite minor can escalate into a major issue requiring much treatment, medications, or in some extreme cases - surgery.  So don’t “deal with it” when you feel that ‘little’ pain or discomfort and think it will just go away.  Even if it FEELS like it went away, it has probably just become something you have desensitized to and it is, indeed, still working on you in a negative way.  Get regular care (once a month) and you will find that you feel healthier and those little issues can be addressed to keep your body tuned up and functioning properly.  Plus, your practitioner can work with you to help catch things as they start and get rid of them before they become issues!

The BEST Side Effect … 

Massage has long been thought of as a “luxurious” or “pampering” service done for one’s self.  However, that wonderful feeling one gets from having a massage is actually a side effect.  WHY?  Because, by receiving massage, one is maintaining good health, increasing circulation, detoxifying and performing many other preventative measures for the body.  Where else can one go for a health care treatment and receive such a positive feeling DURING the treatment?  Think of that the next time you are wondering if you “deserve” it … of course you do … your body requires it!
