Happy New Year, actors! It's my goal, as I know it's most people's, to take better care of myself in 2026. Some of you may know, I take taking care of myself so seriously that I married a chiropractor. Okay, she converted me to this healthy lifestyle stuff, but in the time my wife, Dr. Laura has known me, she's taken a deep dive into the health and wellness of actors and filmmakers, and found we don't get the care we deserve. When she said we're athletes, the way we demand so much of our bodies, it changed the way I took care of mine.
Because she cares about filmmakers, and didn't see the type of care for us she thinks we deserve at a price we could afford, she built something. Her clinic, Pillar Health Company, built a program specific to filmmakers and actors who spend time on set, who have the demands of short-turnarounds in their jobs, and working with new teams all the time. If you wanted to take care of yourself in 2026, and wanted to be surrounded by your community while you do it, the Cayce's have you covered.
Here's her incredible blog, which was originally posted on her website:
From Pillar Health Co.
Filmmaking is physically demanding work - in front of the camera and behind it. Long days on set, repetitive movements, unpredictable schedules, and high mental load all place unique stress on the body. Yet most filmmakers don’t have access to consistent, proactive healthcare that’s designed around those realities.
That gap is exactly why The Filmmaker’s Wellness Cohort was created.
This program is a personalized, preventative wellness model specifically built for filmmakers and production professionals who want to stay healthy, reliant, and energized, not just get through the next project but sustain a long career.
What Is the Filmmaker Wellness Cohort?
The Filmmaker Wellness Cohort combines hands-on chiropractic care, movement support, and metabolic health insight into a personalized, preventative program. Instead of one-off appointments, participants receive consistent monthly care within a supportive cohort environment.
Cohorts are intentionally limited (15–20 participants) to ensure individualized attention and high-quality care.
What’s Included
Comprehensive intake and assessment focused on posture, mobility, and work demands
Monthly hands-on chiropractic visits, including adjustments, manual therapy, and personalized corrective exercises
One set of metabolic health labs with individualized guidance to support energy, recovery, and long-term health
Cohort-only benefits, including ongoing support and discounts on additional services when needed
Who It’s For
This program is designed for filmmakers, actors, production crews, and creative professionals who want to protect their bodies, prevent injury, and support long-term creative longevity.

The Problem with “As-needed’ Care
Many creatives wait until pain becomes disruptive before seeking care. By that point, issues like back pain, neck tension, foot and knee pain, fatigue, and burnout are already affecting focus and quality of life.
Traditional healthcare often falls short for the film industry because it:
Is reactive rather than preventative
Doesn’t account for irregular schedules
Treats symptoms without addressing workload or movement patterns
Lacks continuity and personalization
What filmmakers need is consistent, supportive care that adapts to the demands of their work.
Some of you will remember when I was 70 pounds heavier. I hope even more of you will join me at this year's Shamrock Shuffle, and as a part of Pillar Health Co's Filmmaker's Wellness Cohort.
