Frequently Ask Questions

Zero Balancing was developed in the 1970’s by Dr. Fritz Smith, an Osteopath who became an Acupuncturist. He sought to understand the relationship of the physical body, that he learned from studying human anatomy, with the idea of energy in the body, that he learned about from his acupuncture training. Zero Balancing is the result of that understanding.

Zero Balancing feels for tension and imbalances in the bones and joints, then uses gentle pressure and lengthening to help the body rebalance itself.

Zero Balancing can help with all the normal aches and pains that people deal with - neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees, etc. - as well as chronic conditions.

Full body imbalances, calming the nervous system, relief of physical and emotional stress, headaches, menstrual cramps, sleep issues, anxiety, and overall feelings of wellbeing are just a few of the things Zero Balancing has helped with.

If there is something specific you are dealing with, email me and we can talk about if Zero Balancing can help.

It is different for every person. Sometimes one session is all a person needs, and they just come back for monthly maintenance or whenever they feel like they need it.

Others come for regular ongoing treatments, and though it doesn’t change their circumstances, Zero Balancing helps them feel resourced to live their lives.

If after three sessions you have not had any improvements we will talk about if Zero Balancing is right for you or if you should be referred to another treatment or therapist.
