Wellness continues to be a misunderstood term.  Most people think that they are well when nothing hurts and they feel “okay”.  Is this true? Absolutely not!  Health and wellness is more than the absence of pain.  Wellness is about how your body adapts to the everyday stresses of life and your own internal workings. If it can adapt and handle everything that is going on inside you with nothing interfering with that process, then you are in fact healthy. You are well.
