Tuesday, 27 February, 2024
With a growing number of Canadians interested in self-care as we transition from the pandemic, Dr. Dwight Chapin, the OCA’s Chiropractor of the Year in 2018 wrote: "Take Good Care: 7 Wellness Rituals for Health, Strength and Hope." To bring evidence-based research to life, he engaged 21 influential Canadians, such as Jann Arden and Michael "Pinball" Clemons, to share their unique approaches to self-care. In this episode, Dr. Chapin discusses how they shaped this book, as well as how patients and chiropractors are using it to foster the self-care rituals to support improvements to their health and well-being.
