Brief Description
Developed in the 1970s by Fritz Frederick Smith, MD, author of “Inner Bridges” and “Alchemy of Touch”, ZERO BALANCINGÂ is the art and science of balancing body energy with body structure through the use of skilled touch. ZB focuses on bone as a living tissue and the bone energy of specific foundational joints in the skeletal system.
Gentle fulcrums of varying shape and duration are placed directly into the bones and joints in an organized sequence called The Protocol which engages the entire body. The overall experience is one of deep relaxation and integration of the body/mind. People usually feel a state of peace they may never have experienced before, letting go of deeply held tension in the body and the mind. The frequency of sessions can be scheduled as desired by the client to support any goal or intention.
ZB is a hands-on body/mind system designed to enhance health and well being - it evaluates and treats the whole person rather than focusing on symptoms. ZB can enhance transformational processes at all levels. A ZB session is received through clothing and lasts 45 - 60 minutes. It is gentle for both client and practitioner. ZB can be practiced by many kinds of licensed health care practitioners and is effective in helping to integrate the effects of many kinds of therapies.
