Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being.  It is not merely the absence of illness or injury.  Achieving wellness is done through practicing a positive lifestyle in terms of physical and mental health.  Examples of this include exercising, getting enough rest, and using techniques to reduce or manage stress.  Achieving wellness also happens by eliminating unhealthy lifestyle elements like smoking and drinking in excess.

Aside from its positive benefits of improving the way you feel, practicing wellness can have a positive impact on the personal and social long term economics in our society.  We all know that the cost of health care is astronomical and rising.  The burden of our society to underwrite the health care solutions is largely unavoidable.  The cost of health problems such as obesity, smoking related illnesses, and substance abuse are heavy on us all.  By adopting more healthy choices and embracing the concept of preventative medicine, you can not only save money on a personal level but also make a positive contribution to our society.  Request Physical Therapy and Breath in Action are here to offer programs to help you understand and achieve that goal.
