Three Key Concepts from Wellness Pioneer John W. Travis, MD, MPH (Originator of Wellness Inventory)
The Illness-Wellness Continuum Key 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 Continuum Think 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 Continuum Images of Dr. Travis’ Illness-Wellness Continuum are featured in two different 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-Wellness Continuum for diagrams representing “Opportunities for Spa in the Wellness Industry” and the “Wellness Cluster” of nine industries 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 System Key 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.
What is Wellness? John W. Travis, MD, MPH 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 highest potential 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.

“Approach the assessment in Learning Mode, with an attitude of mindfulness and a spirit of self-discovery.”
The Wellness Inventory is both an educational tool and an assessment.
Creating a Personal Wellness Plan After completing the assessment and viewing their scores, your client can choose to continue to create a Personal Wellness Action Plan or log off and return to create their plan in a later session. The Personal Wellness Plan enables a client to create 1-5 simple action steps by following some basic guidelines. A wellness coach can be very beneficial in creating a realistic wellness action steps based upon the specific areas of wellness the client is most motivated to Change (as revealed by their assessment results). If the client chooses to log off and create their plan later, they will log in to “My Wellness Homepage” where they can create their Personal Wellness Plan (highlighted on next slide), and access other wellness tools including My Wellness Journal, the Self-Study Center and the 12 Wellness Resource Centers.
Virtual Coaching, Updating Plan, Follow Up • Email Reminders (Virtual Coach): Your guests will receive their completed Wellness Action Plan as a regular email reminder (daily, specific days of the week, or weekly) at the guest’s prerogative. Email reminders serve to keep guests engaged in the wellness program even after they leave the spa, accountable to the commitments in their Wellness Action Plan, and motivated to stay improve their overall lifestyle and state of wellbeing. • Guests can edit and update their Wellness Action Plan from their Personal Wellness Home Page.
