Increasing creative energy for artistic practice

with Dr. Anita Shack
 
Monday February 22, 2010

Xiaolan Health Centre
88 Prince Arthur Avenue

This clinic will help manage stress and increase daily energy and vitality. Participants will explore low impact movements and deep-breathing exercises to help strengthen and rejuvenate the creative process and enhance general health. Special emphasis will be placed on stress management involving:

  • The mind, body, spirit connection
  • Posture and optimal alignment
  • How to perform a “personal health inventory”
  • Decreasing negative affects of stress

Dr. Anita Shack B.F.A., D.C., F.A.T.A. uses an integrated approach in her work at the Artists’ Health Centre. She combines chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, and acupuncture, customizing care to the individual artist’s needs and goals. Fascinated with the body/mind/spirit connection, she is concerned not only with the relief of symptoms, but also with getting at the cause to facilitate change and healing. She was an original representative of the Health Care Practitioners meetings at the inception of the Artists’ Health Centre and was founding director of Health Focus, an integrated multidisciplinary alternative health care center in downtown Toronto from 1992-2005.
 
Dr. Shack performed as an independent modern dancer/choreographer from 1974-1986 in Canada and the United States and was a member of the Dance Music Orchestra. Over the last 22 years she has seen how different modalities enhance each other, maximizing the benefits of care and the achievement of wellness.
