Zero BalancingThe principles of Zero Balancing were developed in 1975 by Dr. Fritz Smith, an American osteopath, physician and acupuncturist. It is a gentle, yet powerful, hands-on method of balancing the body. Using finger pressure and held stretches, it invites the release of tension accumulated in the deep structures of the body. It provides a point of stillness around which the body can relax, giving an opportunity to let go of disease and pain, and experience a new level of integration. The name Zero Balancing arose spontaneously from a recipient's description of the session she had just received. All qualified Zero Balancers are also health care professionals in at least one more therapy. Zero Balancing promotes a deep sense of physical and emotional harmony, allowing the natural healing process to work more effectively. The Zero Balancing practitioner looks at bodily structure and alignment and feels the positions of muscles and bones. By feeling how muscles compensate for misalignment of bones a Zero Balancer can decide where there is strain. Then, by stretching the body, working on tight muscles and using gentle pressure on tight areas, the Zero Balancer can try to realign the body. When energy can move more freely, the body's systems can work more harmoniously, helping to release tension, stiffness and pain. Zero Balancing benefits a range of problems, such as migraines, frozen shoulders, emotional tiredness, stress, sore necks, back ache and whip lash. Zero Balancing can facilitate the release of outdated mental habits and patterns of emotional responses. Unresolved issues from our personal history may be held in the body and act as obstacles to personal development. Zero Balancing can help access and clear these obstructions, strengthening our ability to adapt to change. Zero Balancing is done with the client clothed and lying on their
back on a treatment couch. A session, including a short consultation,
takes up to one hour. Zero Balancing promotes a deep state of relaxation
and it is common for people to feel refreshingly rested and revitalised
after the first session. It is recommended that a person has three
sessions to begin with and then decides with their practitioner
what frequency will suit them best. About Kathleen Pepper Kathleen studied with the Zero Balancing Association UK and received her certification in 2001. Fees Zero Balancing session £40.00 |
