Three Key Concepts fromWellness Pioneer

John W. Travis, MD, MPH(Originator of Wellness Inventory)

The Illness-Wellness ContinuumKey Concept #1: Wellness is a process, never a static state.

This model shows the relationship of the Wellness and Treatment Paradigms. Moving from the center to the left shows a progressively worsening state of health. Moving to the right of center indicates increasing levels of health and well-being.

The Treatment Paradigm can only take you to the neutral point, where the symptoms of disease

have been alleviated. The Wellness Paradigm, utilized at any point on the continuum, moves one towards ever higher levels of wellbeing.

The Illness-Wellness ContinuumThink of the continuum as a pathway. People can be headed in either direction.

A person who is generally physically healthy, but who is always worrying about their health and complaining, may be to the right of the neutral point, but may be facing towards the left, in the direction of premature death.

A person who is physically or mentally challenged may have a positive outlook and be cultivating love instead of fear, and consequently may be facing to the right, in the direction of high-level wellness.

The Illness-Wellness Continuum

“Spas and the Global Wellness Market: Synergies and Opportunities”, a report from the Stanford Research Institute, utilized Dr. Travis’ Illness-Wellness Continuum as a key framing device for the entire report according to the authors. (May 2010)

The Illness-Wellness ContinuumImages of Dr. Travis’ Illness-Wellness Continuum are featured in twodifferent sections of the report and there is a full page feature on Dr. Travis and his key contributions in founding the wellness movement.

The authors adapt the Illness-WellnessContinuum for diagrams representing “Opportunities for Spa in the Wellness Industry” and the “Wellness Cluster” of nineindustries comprising the wellness Market. The ends of the continuum are changed to “Reactive” and “Proactive” from “Premature Death” and “High Level Wellness” for the diagrams.

The report, commissioned by the Global Spa Summit, encourages spas to embrace the Illness-Wellness Continuum concept.

The Iceberg Model of Health

Key Concept #2: Illness and Health are only the tip of an iceberg. To understand their causes you must look below the surface.




The Wellness Energy SystemKey Concept #3: We are energy transformers. All our life processes, including health and illness depend on how we manage energy. Putting together a person’s energy inputs and outputs we have the complete wellness energy system. These 12 life processes are the basis of the Wellness Inventory.

Wellness is a choice…. a decision you make to move toward optimal health.

Wellness is a way of life…. a lifestyle you design to achieve your highestpotential for well-being.

Wellness is a process…. a developing awareness that there is no end point but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now.

Wellness is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit….the appreciation that everything you do, and think, and feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health.

Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself.
