  Upledger Study Groups
and Practice Groups

Enjoy the Benefits...
Study Groups create wonderful opportunities to practice the skills you have already learned and further your understanding of your chosen modality by sharing experiences and asking questions of other like-minded practitioners.
 
Study Groups include hands-on practice, techniques review and time available to have your questions answered.  Study Groups are led by Instructors, Teaching Assistants, or Certified Therapists.

Practice Groups are more informal, and allow for students to practice in order to prepare for further study.

About CS1 with Carol McClellan in Salt Lake City  
So glad my path has led me here now - can't wait to use it. I can't believe I learned all 10 steps in such a short time - great to be able to take this in its entirety with me. Good balance between lecture and hands-on.
  - J. Schlecten, OT

About CS2 with Fred Stahlman

I always enjoy taking classes at The Upledger Institute. Skilled, sharp and experienced instructors and a lovely place for learning. Coming here is a highlight

IN LOVING MEMORY

The Upledger family is mourning the loss of two remarkable men this year who will be forever loved and remembered for the impact they had on everyone they came across. Their imprint on the entire manual therapy world will continue to serve as inspiration and guidance to all of us for many years to come.
  
John Matthew Upledger 
1960 - 2017 
John Matthew Upledger 
   
As CEO of Upledger Institute International, The Barral Institute,  D'Ambrogio Institute and the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators, he guided the company to the worldwide success and recognition it is known for today; it's notable 50 international affiliates and 125,000 alumni who reside in 110 countries.

He was personally committed to always maintaining a high standard of excellence in all of his business pursuits. A true visionary, John had the unique ability to transform ideas into successful programs that helped countless individuals throughout the world. He was looked up to and admired by all those he helped, as well as his entire team.

Above all else, John loved his family. Donna, his wife, and Miranda, their daughter, were always his priority. He will be remembered for his zest for life, unending generosity, loyalty and friendship and most of all for the love he showed to everyone around him.

The John Matthew Upledger Scholarship fund has been established to help memorialize his legacy and demonstrate his ongoing encouragement of learning and helping to make the world a healthier place.

John "JR" Olson  
1975 - 2017
JR Olson 

As Director of Sales and Community Relations, "JR" was  admired and loved by all.  In his nearly 20 years with Upledger Institute International, The Barral Institute, D'Ambrogio Institute and the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators, he worked in almost every aspect of the company. For many years, he was the face of Upledger at many local, state and national conventions. He oversaw the Educational Services team and the scheduling of the more than 400 classes held annually. JR was admired and known for his compassion, integrity and sense of fun.

His love of life and his positive nature were the hallmarks of his character. JR loved his family and his many animals. His partner, Dany, and his Mom, Janice, along with his sister and brother were truly the loves of his life.

He lived life and loved with a zeal that will serve as his legacy
for eternity.

HOW CST HELPED
SAVE MY BABY
First Published in
Upledger Institute E-News UpDate 
October 17, 2006 

Dear Upledger Institute,

I am the mom that submitted this letter. And since CST has continued to be a part of our life, I thought you'd enjoy an update.

In 2005 we completed 13 sessions of CST in Portland Oregon.  My son - who was 3 at the time, had significant improvement in his ability to tolerate life after each session.  At the end of 2005, we moved from Oregon to Kansas City, KS. I had a hard time finding a certified CST pediatrician in our area. 6 weeks after our arrival, my 3 year old was asking to "get a message" (which is what we called CST). His behavior digressed, his sensory issues returned, and we started looking for help.

AN ANSWER TO YOUR PAIN:
CST for Health and Healing
"Phineas"  
 
The following is an excerpt from
An Answer to Your Pain
Submitted by Diane Ripper of Bellingham, WA
CranioSacral Therapy Practitioner since 2010
 
Although Phineas was normal at birth, we knew that he was
different by age three. All the doctors insisted, however, that he was fine and just didn't "want" to ride a bike. By the time he
was four, he qualified for special education preschool for gross motor skills.

Phineas was labeled generally as "developmentally delayed" and
also clearly had sensory processing disorder. He qualified for occupational therapy and speech therapy. Because processing new information was hard for him, he would change the conversation to something that he could lead. For example, if asked, "Where do you go to school?" he might respond, "I'm a Komodo dragon!"
