of care, as opposed to exercises carried out by the individual alone at home. Each patient is different and requires an individualized regimen of treatment within your clinic. Many can also ben -efit from a customized exercise program to complement your care. Although exercises to be done on one’s own, at home, may be the key for some of your patients, others may benefit from a more structured program in an environment that is safe, holistic and welcoming. Adapted yoga now represents another “tool in the toolkit,” with evidence beginning to support it as an adjunct to existing professional care, or as a therapy in its own right.• REFERENCES 1.

Canadian Chiropractor is a completely Canadian owned and managed magazine serving DCs and chiropractic students across the country. Through print and digital media, CC provides members of the profession with news; informative articles on a number of topics that impact DCs in their practice; event listings; classified ads; product and service information; and more, all from a uniquely Canadian perspec-tive that is relevant to practitioners in all provinces. CC has now partnered with MIP, McMaster University’s hub for research and innovation in health care and business, to offer DCs and chiropractic students a continued education event aimed at exploring sound business practices that will highlight their clinical skills – and/or expand their clinical toolbox – and facilitate greater ac-cess to their services within their communities. Learners will hear from seasoned colleagues who have met with success in their profession and are willing to share tips and ideas. In order to accommodate varying learning styles, concepts will be de-livered through a combination of podium presentations, with visual components, and an interactive teaching model. Six structured CEUs are available for attending this event. Registration is $85 – an early bird rate of $65 is available until June 1 – and includes lunch and parking.
