Maslow's theory on the wellness–illness continuum states that if people find their needs blocked or threatened, they move toward the illness end of the continuum. If their basic needs are satisfied and they move toward self-actualization, they move toward the wellness end. The body adapts and changes to maintain homeostasis. High-level wellness is optimum health.
