As therapists of touch, we use our hands, wrists and arms as tools of engagement. In this class we receive fulcrums from our shoulder girdle to fingertips. We leave tuned up and empowered to address our client’s needs more fully.
— Lisa J. Berger
I love the skeleton: the simple beauty of how the joints work on a system of pulleys and levers, how the architectural design of each joint prescribes its movement. The more I know about the skeleton, the more sense it makes. FMJ expands our basic protocol in new ways that are fun, creative and empower the practitioner to discover/re-discover the joints and design their own fulcrums. I am so excited to be teaching FMJ again with Lisa, and look forward to you joining us in this exploration.”

FREELY MOVEABLE JOINTS is an advanced-level Zero Balancing course that expands our focus from the foundation and semi-foundation joints to include the “freely moveable joints” of the body. These joints present unique therapeutic challenges because of the variety of their anatomy and their great ranges of motion. By the end of the program you will have the skills to evaluate and balance freely moveable joints and the knowledge to devise your own fulcrums to meet the specific needs of a given situation.
In FREELY MOVEABLE JOINTS we will review basic ZB principles and highlight their application to a number of joints in light of their specific anatomy. The skills and education inherent in this course will broaden your Zero Balancing abilities and will improve your Zero Balancing sessions.
You will learn:
- Highlights of Zero Balancing principles as they apply to FMJs
-
Upper extremity: shoulder girdle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers
-
Lower extremity: knee, ankle, metatarsals, toes
-
Accessing the sacro-iliac joint via the hip
-
The powerful acetabular hip fulcrum
-
Temporomandibular joint fulcrum
-
Direct bone fulcrums and ‘bone bending’
-
Teachings designed to deepen your ZB skills and protocol use
-
By watching ZB demonstrations and exchanging ZB sessions
