Love, Tonya Wellness

Ever notice how most wellness solutions only solve part of the problem? That old "one-problem-one-solution" approach often leaves folks stuck in the same pain cycles or stressed-out patterns. At Love Tonya Wellness, we do things differently. Our "whole health" strategy means we treat your body: from head to toe, inside and out: with integrated care.

We blend medical massage, therapeutic movement, and custom skincare. So whether it's chronic pain, limited mobility, or stress, we’re not just masking symptoms: we're getting to the root, helping you actually feel and move better every day.

Curious about how whole health feels? Drop your questions below or book a service to experience it for yourself. We're here for you every step of the way! 💙💜

Not sure how to get VA Community Care massage therapy at Love Tonya Wellness? Let’s break it down: no stress, no VA-speak!

1. If you’re feeling chronic pain, stiffness, or stress, you CAN ask your VA doctor for massage therapy: it’s your right, and your request matters.

2. Send a message through My HealtheVet or mention during any VA appointment: “I’d like massage therapy at Love Tonya Wellness with Tonya Ford.” 💙

3. Your VA provider checks medical necessity. If approved, they send a referral to the VA Community Care office, who contacts us and sets up how many visits are covered.

4. Once we get the green light, you just book your appointment directly (easy peasy!): and we’ll walk you through everything.

If you’re stuck or unsure, reach out! We love helping veterans navigate care so you can feel your best. Questions? Drop them below or DM anytime. You’ve got support here. 💬

I always tell my clients how important hydration and our fascia are to movement and comfort.

Everyone is starting to realize how important fascia is when it comes to training the body, but most people still underestimate how deeply it influences movement.

Hydrated fascia behaves very differently, down to the cellular level. Not only does it participate in bioelectric signaling, it also plays a major role in how much range of motion your body can access during exercise. When this tissue is loaded correctly, it becomes elastic and responsive. Your muscles coordinate better, your posture improves, and energy becomes more stable because your body isn’t fighting itself to move.

When this tissue loses its elasticity and structural organization, your body begins moving in ways that increase tension, stiffness, and joint stress in the wrong areas. This is when people start experiencing the movement degradation that eventually leads to pain. Hydration in the body isn’t just about drinking more water. It depends on restoring the mechanical conditions that allow fluid to move through your tissue with minimal friction.

The visual on the left is exactly what we help you overcome through our training. This is what you see in the transformations we help people achieve, where their bodies begin to look more viscoelastic and full.

If you want to improve your movement, you not only need to strengthen the muscles that are weak, you also need to build the mechanics that distribute tension efficiently throughout your fascial system. The quality of your movement determines the quality of your tissue.

Dancing heals more than just your body.

Ever felt stress melt away when you move to music? That’s the magic of finding an activity you truly enjoy. For me, Salsa isn’t just a dance. it’s a way to reconnect, stay active, and keep the spirit strong.

If you’re looking for a fun, uplifting way to get moving, I offer private Salsa dance lessons right here in Fayetteville. No experience needed—just bring your energy and a willingness to try something new.

Ready to dance your way to wellness? Message me to book your first lesson or ask any questions. 💃

We spend years "sucking it up and pressing on" and doing everything we can to make it happen and get ish done. But that mentality only hurts us when its time to be compensated for all of the sacrifices we've made with our physical and mental health through all of our years of service to our country. During your evaluation is the time to take off your big boy drawers/big girl panties and let the evaluator in on all of the pain and discomfort you're dealing with on a daily basis. That's the time to be vulnerable. 🙏🏾❤️
