My Experience

I was first introduced to zero balancing when I won a session at a raffle drawing at a local chamber of commerce event. The Zero Balancing Health Association defines zero balancing as “a hands-on body-mind system of therapy that balances the relationship of energy and structure within the bones and tissues of the body.”

I was treated by a zero balance practitioner who is also a nurse. The treatment was in a small room in the lower level of her home. In the room was a massage table. She asked me whether I wanted to listen to classical music during the treatment, and I said yes. I took my shoes and socks off but kept my clothes on. (For later sessions, when she combined massage with the zero balancing, I took off all but my underwear for the massage.) She covered me with a sheet or light blanket. In zero balancing there was a touching of light pressure with her hands on several trigger points. The work was focused over the whole body, although I told her that I had some stiffness in my neck, which she felt was from stress and she did concentrate her treatment to the neck area.

I felt some benefit from the treatments with a general feeling of comfort and peace.
