✨ Honoring the Legacy of Dr. John E. Upledger ✨

On this day, we remember Dr. John E. Upledger (1932–2012), the visionary developer of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and founder of Upledger Institute International.

This year holds special meaning as we also celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. For four decades, Dr. Upledger’s groundbreaking vision has touched lives across the globe, inspiring healthcare professionals to carry forward his mission of holistic healing and compassionate care.

We are forever grateful for his passion, his pioneering contributions, and the enduring legacy that continues to shape the future of integrative healthcare.

“Ideally, we should all be able to help each other heal. I believe that everyone on the face of this planet has at least some ability to do that. If you believe you can, and you are willing to open your mind to it, you have unlimited ability to facilitate healing. You can do anything that you allow yourself to do.”
— Dr. John E. Upledger
