Intensive Therapy Programmes for Everyone
Established in 1988 in America, originally to treat veterans returning from Vietnam, this model of treatment emerged a successful way of helping people get through deeply embedded trauma. Today, these programmes are run in the UK to support small groups of people with specific issues from concussion, autism, anxiety and depression, to neurological damage, scoliosis and post natal depression.
Is This You?
"I'm blank, l'm very numb. I struggle with panic attacks and anxiety."
"I struggle with paranoia and with trusting people."
"It's like being in a revolving door that I can't get out of."
"I've lived with pain for so long now I don't know what it would be like to be without it."
About our 5 day Intensive Programmes
The Upledger Intensive Programmes are unique, 5 day treatment programs designed to focus on particular issues such as PTSD, trauma, spinal injuries, learning disabilities, concussion. These programmes use a mind-body-spirit approach to address the health care needs of the community. While we have a core group of qualified CranioSacral therapists who regularly work with us as primary or lead therapists on these programmes, we also have a team of highly skilled additional therapists who volunteer their time. They bring their own unique skill set and many have years of experience in other disciplines such as osteopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, psychotherapy and counselling. They bring a diverse array of talent and in return we offer them the opportunity to work as part of a "multi-hands" team treating a variety of patients with whom they might not otherwise get to work.
5 days of "multi-hands" Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. You will receive treatment from at least 3 therapists at one time. This gives your body the support it needs to get to where it needs to go. All treatments take place in the same room so you we begin to work as a melded group and gain from each other's process.
Treatment from our most qualified and experienced therapists plus two other 'support' therapists.
Our 'primary' therapists have years of experience in their hands. They all have previous disciplines to CST such as osteopathy, psychotherapy, medical doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapy. This means you will be supported by a phenomenal team of therapists at the top of their game. All our therapists are fully insured, abide by our code of ethics and we ensure a strict confidentiality policy.
We have regular morning 'check ins' in a circle formation.
This gives you the opportunity to share with the group how you are getting on, or not, it's your choice. Some of the hardest and most profound changes can occur when witnessed by empathetic others. This is an opportunity to get to the bottom of what's holding you back from healing and the support of the group to lean into when things get tough is phenomenal.
"Touching those emotions again has been very, very hard, but to do it in such safety has been extraordinary. The safety you achieve when you're on the couch with such support around you, to trust in the process and trust in yourself, to let them out."
(Lynne, Police Officer)

Lynn
“The last five days on this intensive programme has been a life changing experience. Awesome and deeply engaging on all levels - physical and emotional. Like five years of therapy.”
Rob
"I arrived a reluctant broken ex cop with PTSD who felt guilty about his illness, I left a man who could cry, smile, feel, a father a husband a caring compassionate human and a brave ex cop who got ill because he cared. No more guilt because I did the right thing, faced danger and did nothing wrong, thank you to IODPA and Upledger community UK its been a game changer."
