Zero Balancing (ZB) is a holistic, neuro-regulating, bodymind touch therapy rooted in Western science and Eastern healing practices with a whole-person perspective that the mind and body are inextricably intertwined. ZB promotes postural alignment by balancing areas of held tension with gentle pressure and traction into the bones and joints. Zero Balancing also accesses meridian points to unlock the flow of energy available for self reorganization and healing. Developed by Dr. Fritz Smith, MD, in the 1970s, ZB is practiced by healthcare professionals such as physical, occupational, and massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and medical doctors trained and certified through the Zero Balancing Health Association.
