Zero Balancing (ZB) is a hands-on bodywork system that aligns energy and structure. Simple, yet powerful, it focuses on the whole person, while superbly addressing specific needs and symptoms. Considered at the leading edge of body/mind therapies, ZB integrates Western scientific approaches to body structure with Eastern concepts of energy and healing. Zero Balancing focuses on the balance of energy and structure within the musculoskeletal system – particularly releasing tension and held energy from the bones, ligaments, and their associated soft tissues.

Friday, December 6th, 9:00am – 5:00pm

This hands-on workshop includes assessment, testing, and treatment. During this full day of training, you will learn dozens of assessment tests, friction, myofascial therapy, and deep tissue techniques to address pain and injury in some of the most commonly injured structures in the neck, shoulder, lower back, and knee.

You will also understand the anatomy of these structures as never before by physically locating and palpating each muscle, tendon, and ligament targeted with these techniques.

These assessment testing procedures are from the work of Dr. James Cyriax, the originator of Orthopedic Medicine (the non-surgical treatment for musculoskeletal pain).

Saturday, December 7th, 9:00am – 5:00pm

This intensive, hands-on workshop teaches you a comprehensive, effective stretching protocol for the upper and lower body that can be performed on your clients in 50-60-minute sessions.
Active Assisted Stretching (AAS) energizes the body, enhances the health of the tissues, increases flexibility, protects the body from injury, enhances the healing process, re-aligns the fascia, and makes building strength more effective. AAS is especially good for athletes, the elderly, and the injured, and can also benefit the neurologically impaired. Add this to your practice as a stand-alone service, as a compliment to your client’s massage therapy session, or split into upper or lower-body sessions that can be performed in under a half hour.
