I have recently been working with a group organizing free wellness clinics in solidarity with folks affected by the Eaton Fire in #Altadena. We will be out this afternoon at the Altadena Village Fall Festival at John Muir High School. Come stop by if you are local and say hi or get a free treatment. I think it's just walk-ups but this page has info:

And some broader info about the Fall Festival:

I have a fresh newsletter out today.

After updates, I spend a little time gushing about @jennitaur's now not-so-new book, "How to Do Nothing," before diving into selections from Kenneth Rexroth that may or may not illustrate something about doing nothing.

I hope this one hits like a nice warm mug of mulled wine. Please enjoy.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — thank you to PTs who restore movement, reduce pain, and improve daily life. PTs assess movement, prescribe tailored exercises, provide hands‑on care and education, and use modalities when needed to treat conditions like low back pain, neck/shoulder pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, post‑surgical rehab and chronic pain.

Do one practical thing today: try seated pelvic tilts — sit tall, feet flat; tuck pelvis to flatten low back for 3–5 sec, arch gently for 3–5 sec; repeat 8–12 times, stop if it hurts. Tag a PT, share a short recovery tip, or join a local screening.

New newsletter out today! I share and reflect on some poetry by Elise Cowen, and shamelessly try to get people to let me care for them. Read and share as you wish. Subscribe even, maybe.

Friendly reminder that my sliding scale goes down to zero, no questions asked. I would really like to offer treatment to folks who have been affected by the recent raids or injured while protesting. I specialize in working with the bodily effects of old traumas and illnesses, but can provide support with recent traumas, as well. I am a manual therapist based in #Pasadena.

Info about my work is available at https://wilsonshook.com

Edit to add: I also speak basic Spanish

Folks, I could use a little boost if you don't mind. I recently relocated back to #Pasadena after a couple years in the Bay Area, and am working on getting my #ManualTherapy and #Bodywork practice back into a sustainable rhythm. Learn more, ask questions, and please share! Thank you!

I am a manual therapist specializing in Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, and integrative therapeutic massage. I use gentle, targeted, osteopathic techniques to relieve restriction within and around the internal organs, brain, nervous system, and vasculature, restoring healthy movement and function. By assisting the body in working through its internalized responses to physical and emotional trauma, I prioritize the often neglected root causes of chronic injury, illness, structural imbalance, and dysfunction. Sessions incorporate a balance of visceral, cranial, and musculoskeletal work, with the goal of restoring your body’s ability to adapt and heal on its own.

I have a newsletter out today, announcing my return to the Los Angeles area. I have new offices for my manual therapy practice in Pasadena and Silverlake, and am finally ready to get back to work after a stressful move.

As usual, I've included some recommended reading: selections from the poet René Char (please pardon the crude and mostly unintended pun with the featured photograph).

Please enjoy and share if you like.
