THE UPLEDGER INSTITUTE, Inc.
PRESENTS A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: ShareCare for Seniors

One of the goals of the Upledger Institute is to teach people that they play the most active role in their own health. Because many have surrendered their healing potential to advanced technology, we offer ShareCare to help them develop an appreciation for their own abilities to heal.

ShareCare has been specifically designed by Dr. John E. Upledger for persons with no prior knowledge of anatomy or physiology. Dr. Upledger is the osteopathic physician who led the research team to establish the scientific basis for a CranioSacral system. He has shown how the system could be used to diagnose and treat misunderstood malfunctions involving the brain, spinal cord, and a myriad of other health problems such as chronic pain and lowered vitality, recurring infections, etc.

PROGRAM BENEFITS
Workshop participants with no background in this area can learn about the CranioSacral system and its influence on their overall health. Instructors, trained by The Upledger Institute, will introduce a few simple techniques: palpation of the CranioSacral rhythm, the CV4 self-help technique, the still point, the V-spread and TMJ decompression. These techniques were designed to relieve headaches, reduce stress, control pain, promote relaxation, and to lead participants to a greater understanding of their roll in their own health. These workshops provide a medium in which people may come to realize their natural healing.

Upledger CranioSacral 1 day ShareCare Workshops for seniors are designed to support self sufficiency. Seniors can learn a few simple techniques than can be used for self help stress reduction and health improvement . In addition, seniors can practice sharecare techniques on each other, providing and promoting healing touch and improvement in their own self esteem.
