Upledger CranioSacrale Therapie Verband Deutschland

28/03/2026

Der gemeinnützige Verein wurde 2025 aufgelöst. Er hatte zum Ziel, die Upledger CranioSacrale Therapie in der Öffentlchkeit bekannt zu machen und das Gesundheitsbewußtsein zu fördern. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, sich weiterhin für die Upledger Craniosacrale Therapie im Rahmen des CSVD´s (CraniosacraltherapeutInnen Verband Deutschland) zu engagieren. Wir sind bemüht, im Sinne von Dr. John die erfolgreichen und augenscheinlich wichtigen Projekte, wie das Intensiv Programm, Share care und Compassionate Touch Helping Hands, in diesem neuen Rahmen weiterzuführen und weiter zu entwickeln. Es wäre schön, dort immer mehr ehemalige Kollegen und neue Gesichter zu treffen.

Eine interessante Studie der Norweger. Wie schön wäre das, wenn wir in Deutschland ebenso die Physio und die CST offiziell so zusammen einsetzen könnten, auch ohne HP Zulassung…

This innovative approach reduces physical symptoms, allowing for deeper emotional healing and improved therapeutic outcomes. CST helps alleviate physical pain, enhance self-care, and increase emotional tolerance, paving the way for meaningful recovery.
This research also emphasizes the importance of collaboration with trained psychotherapists to ensure patient safety and maximize benefits.

✨ 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

Heute ein Artikel zu einer interessanten Cranio Studie:

„Ein Vorschlag für den Einsatz der CranioSacral-Therapie bei Feuerwehranwärtern“.
Als wir diese Forschungsergebnisse erstmals vorstellten, traf sie den Nerv der Zeit – und das aus gutem Grund.

Die Studie zeigte das Potenzial der CranioSacral-Therapie (CST), den Cortisolspiegel zu senken und die Haltungsstabilität bei Feuerwehranwärtern zu verbessern – entscheidende Faktoren, um diesen Helden an vorderster Front dabei zu helfen, körperlich und geistig fit zu bleiben.

Sie wurde schon vor einiger Zeit verfasst, hat aber an Aktualität nichts verloren...

🔥🚒 Still Making an Impact: CranioSacral Therapy for Firefighter Cadets 🔥🚒

We’re revisiting one of our prior article:
“A Proposal for the Use of CranioSacral Therapy in Firefighter Cadets.”
When we first shared this research, it struck a chord—and for good reason.

The study revealed the potential of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) to reduce cortisol levels and improve postural stability in firefighter cadets—crucial factors in helping these frontline heroes stay physically and mentally prepared.

If you missed it the first time, now’s the perfect chance to see how CST continues to support the well-being of those who protect and serve.

Das menschliche Herz ist ein wunderbares Organ. Es versorgt sich selbst, bevor es anderen dient – eine Lektion, die uns allen guttun könnte. (Dr. Helen Taussig)

It is with deep gratitude and heartfelt remembrance that we honor the life and legacy of Dianne Gardner (formerly Dianne Upledger)— Co-Founder of Upledger Institute.

In 1985, Dianne joined Dr. John Upledger, Allen Merrell, and Elizabeth Packer-Merrell (Frank) in founding the Institute, helping to bring a bold and compassionate vision of healing into the world. Her thoughtful leadership, unwavering dedication, and warm presence was instrumental in the early days shaping the Institute’s mission and the global community it continues to nurture.

Dianne’s presence left a lasting imprint on the Upledger Institute, especially through the beginning years supporting the administrative team and her thoughtful involvement in select programs, including the Certification Program. Her impact extended beyond tasks and titles — she brought warmth, grace, and genuine care to her work, touching the lives of students and colleagues alike. Dianne helped foster a sense of connection and purpose that continues to resonate throughout our community.

She will be deeply missed, yet her spirit lives on in every student, therapist, and life changed through the work she helped make possible.

With love and remembrance,
The Upledger Institute International Family

Hier ein Link zu einem sehr interessanten Vortrag über die Lebensgeschichte Andrew Taylor Stills von unseren kanadischen Kollegen gepostet. Elisabeth Newman ist auf den Spuren Stills gewandelt und hat darüber auch ein Buch geschrieben.

ON THE ORIGINS OF OSTEOPATHY
with presenter Elizabeth Newman
MAY 21, 2025 • ONLINE
7pm-8:30pm EST

Recording will be available for those unable to attend

The roots of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy lie in Osteopathy, which its founder said is rooted in “laws of nature as old as time itself.”

An origin story orients us and provides a fulcrum of stability in our work and path when we feel uncertain, lonely, or unsure of our next steps.

Since the fall of 2023, Elizabeth has taken on a personal side project to understand the origins of osteopathy, particularly the untold story of A.T. Still’s meeting with the Shawnee tribe in the Kansas Territory in the 1850s.
