What local practitioners say about Zero Balancing:
"Many of my patients are fragile. I often do partial ZB sessions in the Rehab setting with positive outcomes.” Loren Waggy, OTR, CZB
“Zero Balancing has helped my concussion patients reduce and manage their symptoms in order to allow them to participate in work-related and school-based tasks.” Sarah McCartney, COTA, CZB
“Zero Balancing has been a fantastic addition to my clinical practice as a neurologic physical therapist. I have been able to provide relief of a variety of symptoms, including pain, dizziness, restless legs, and sleep disturbance, with better efficiency than other treatment strategies and in a more holistic way.” Dori Walterhouse, PT, CZB
“The addition of Zero Balancing to my vestibular rehabilitation toolbox has been a game changer, especially with patients who suffer from migraine.” Mary Behrens, PT, CZB, ZB Faculty
“I started implementing integration closing sequences with some of my hypersensitive concussion patients, and noticed an immediate decrease in their symptoms before leaving the clinic!” Justine Prikosovich PTA, CZB
