Intensive Programs

The Intensive Programs of the Upledger Institute International are unique, multi-disciplinary one-week treatment programs designed to focus on particular issues such as autism, brain and spinal cord injuries, learning disabilities, and more. These programs use a mind-body-spirit approach to address the health care needs of the community. A core group of therapists works alongside the Institute's diverse group of highly trained professionals — physicians, physical therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, doctors of oriental medicine, psychologists, and counselors — many of them cross-trained in a variety of complementary therapies.

In addition to in-house professionals, Visiting Therapists join specific programs. These highly skilled CranioSacral Therapists have met strict professional requirements and leave their own practices from around the world to work as part of a multi-hands treatment team — bringing diverse talent and treating patients they might not otherwise encounter.

All staff are guided by Dr. Upledger's philosophy that each person has the ability to affect his or her own health. Once recognized, that potential allows individuals to actively participate in their own healing. Families and caregivers may also receive psychological support and training in basic techniques to continue the work at home.

Some Intensive Programs are supported by the Dr. John E. Upledger Foundation. Since these programs began in 1988, they have incorporated new therapies and understandings as they become available.
