Ready to dive deeper? Zero Balancing I is such a fundamental course to continue your professional and personal growth. Whether taking this for the first time or repeating again, each time you reengage the material deepens substantially. If you are a skilled practitioner or someone new to the work, this class always has depth to offer.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Zero Balancing I is the first half of the 50-hour Core Zero Balancing program and the first course of the Zero Balancing curriculum. ZB I introduces you to the technique, theory, touch skills and history of the art and science of Zero Balancing. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to perform a full-body Zero Balancing session and experience what it feels like to receive Zero Balancing fulcrums and sessions.

I will deliver clear presentations and demonstrations of Zero Balancing evaluations and techniques, along with a detailed study guide to inform your ongoing practice. You will be able to perform a basic Zero Balancing protocol at the completion of this class.
 
You will learn: 

• The basic Zero Balancing protocol
• Theory and principles of Zero Balancing body/mind therapy
• To distinguish body energy and body structure through touch 
• The skill of using energy as a working tool 
• The structural and energetic anatomy of the skeleton 
• The theory and application of Zero Balancing techniques called fulcrums
• How to give a 30-minute ZB session that addresses the whole body 

 
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
