Do You Want the Most Out of Your Health?

About Whole-Person Health and Integrative Medicine

Health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity[.]"

"Whole person health involves looking at the whole person—not just separate organs or body systems—and considering multiple factors that promote either health or disease[.]"
"Integrative health involves the optimal combination of all evidence-based approaches to help heal the person as a whole[.]"
"Integrative medicine focuses on you as a whole person and not just your illness or disease."

Do You Take Action When Facing Challenges?

About Optimal Health and Peak Wellness

Optimal health is a holistic focus with the aim of attaining the best possible health outcomes by promoting healthier behaviors and not merely the absence of disease[.]"
Recreational Therapy (RT) at Inclusion Therapies is guided by Peak Wellness practices.
Peak Wellness is as high a level of wellness as a person is capable of achieving ("where illness and wellness are conceived along a continuum, with death on one end and peak wellness at the other").

Do You Prioritize Your Quality of Life?
