Zero Balancing seems to engage the person in profound ways through apparently simple hands on work. Smith says that comes from the Zero Balancing working tool, called a fulcrum. “A fulcrum is a field of tension that we create in the client’s body and then hold it stationary to allow the opportunity for the person to respond to it. Some of the fulcrums I’ve developed come from listening to people who have a worldview that makes sense to me, like Deepak Chopra or the Dalai Lama. 

Developing Zero Balancing many years ago, I had no idea where it was going to go,” he says. “It started out as a bio-mechanical system that was very good at stopping pain and helping function. But now I’m seeing it as a holistic system.

Great Read!!

Zero Balancing is unique in that it focuses especially on the experience of the person as evoked through the skeletal system, as well as soft tissues.

In our work, it is easy to see we are helping to free and relax our clients through the muscles and fascia. Since our tissues act like guide wires that position and move the bones

Zero Balancing is a form of bodywork that focuses on the skeletal side of the musculoskeletal equation and emphasizes contacting energy as well as structure.

Background: and purpose: Heart rate variability represents a marker activity, self-regulation and psychiatric illness. Few studies of manual therapy have investigated the neurophysiological effects of manual cranial therapy. This study assessed the neurophysiological short/medium-term effects of two manual therapy interventions: massage therapy . Materials and methods: A double-blind clinical trial was conducted with 50 healthy children, randomized into two groups who received a Mss-t intervention or MC-t.

The variables analysed included vital signs (temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure) and HRV components, including the root mean square ofsuccessive differences (RMSSD), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF) and LF/HF ratio.

Results: Both interventions produced short-term parasympathetic effects, although the effects of MC-t were more persistent.

Conclusion: The persistence of the MC-t intervention suggested a prominent vagal control and better self-regulation. Autonomic imbalances in mental pathologiesmay benefit from the neurophysiological effects of MC-t.
