Dr. John E. Upledger is President of
The Upledger Institute, Inc. Dedicated to the natural enhancement
of health, the Institute is recognized worldwide for its
groundbreaking continuing-education programs, clinical research
and therapeutic services.
Throughout his career as an osteopathic
physician, Dr. Upledger has been recognized as an innovator
and leading proponent in the investigation of new therapies.
His development of CranioSacral Therapy in particular has
earned him an international reputation. He has also served
on the Alternative Medicine Program Advisory Council for
the Office of Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes
of Health in Washington, D.C.
Although much of his experience has
been garnered through private clinical practice, Dr. Upledger
served from 1975-1983 as a clinical researcher and Professor
of Biomechanics at Michigan State University. During those
years he supervised a team of anatomists, physiologists,
biophysicists and bioengineers in experiments testing the
existence and influence of the craniosacral system.
The results of those scientific studies
explained the function of the craniosacral system and its
use in evaluating and treating poorly understood malfunctions
of the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Upledger went on to develop
CranioSacral Therapy and other complementary modalities
that are now taught worldwide to healthcare professionals
through The Upledger Institute's educational programs. He
has also written numerous textbooks and study guides, and
more than two dozen research articles.
Dr. Upledger established The
Upledger Foundation in 1987 to reach out to those less fortunate
and help improve their life experiences. This nonprofit
organization is dedicated to the ongoing research and development
of new therapeutic applications, and the establishment of
community-outreach programs that enhance total health.
