An exciting new study by Dr. Misty Rhoads and Mary Murphy and others, supports what Zero Balancing practitioners find in their clinical practice: Zero Balancing is very effective for reducing multiple symptoms associated with anxiety disorders.

This national study, conducted from August 2023 to April 2024, involved 80 participants who received 320 Zero Balancing (ZB) sessions facilitated by 12 certified ZB practitioners trained in research methods.

A Great Marriage: Zero Balancing and Physical Therapy

by Diane Musial, PT, Zero Balancing Certification Candidate

I am a physical therapist who has been seeing clients for the past 40 years. In 2023 I was gifted a Zero Balancing (ZB) session by a dear friend. I had not previously heard of ZB. My friend said with a smile, “You’re going to like this.” After one session, which afforded me a glorious experience, I knew my path to learn more about and embrace Zero Balancing had begun. Soon after that I took a ZB I class and I am currently on the road to certification...

Immediately after taking Core ZB I, I began offering Zero Balancing sessions. As my skill and understanding of ZB continue to develop, I frequently offer the ZB protocol to my physical therapy clients. Along with traditional PT, they often receive ZB 3-6 times in 6 weeks. I observe that ZB combined with physical therapy provides the certainty of diminished anxiety and increased ease for them. Releasing tension from bones and tissues renders spaciousness in body and brain offering possibility of additional layers of release and processing which I had not witnessed prior to the addition of Zero Balancing.

It is worth noting the benefits I observe in my clients’ mind, body and Spirit.

An expansive feeling and sense of ease have been reported by 95% of clients to whom I have provided Zero Balancing (ZB) so far. I refer to ZB as the “magical modality.” For many, their progress toward pain resolution and relief has been hastened and more easily maintained.

In Zero Balancing we lean on the protocol. But how do you know when you need to change things up?

Join Judith Sullivan on April 20 at 3:50 PM ET for this Third Sunday Open Forum:

*How Do You Know When You Need to Improvise?*

Judith will help us learn how to know when we need to improvise or change direction in the course of a Zero Balancing session. As Judith states, "Usually the feeling I get, is something isn’t working. First I have to check myself. Then I have to see if I’m connected to the client. Or it could be the situation that you can’t get there from here. What do you do in these situations?"

Judith is a master teacher with over 40 years of practice in Zero Balancing and craniosacral therapy. She is the author of the book Zero Balancing Expanded: The Attitude of Awaiting a Fish published by Upledger Productions. She's based in Charlottesville, VA.

From New York to California, Zero Balancing I classes are coming up around the country in 2025!

In four days, learn to use gentle touch to free tension and improve flow in the deepest part of the person - bones, joints and soft tissue. A Zero Balancing session is deeply relaxing while helping people to access the body's healing wisdom and natural alignment. A Zero Balancing I class provides the theory and practice skills you need to offer a full-body Zero Balancing treatment. Find a class at www.zerobalancing.com

New studies show that Zero Balancing, which often induces expanded states of consciousness similar to meditation, helps bring the bodymind into balance, offering relief from physical, mental and emotional symptoms. Feel taller, freer, calmer, clearer after Zero Balancing.
