We are so happy to share the results of this study on how the use of Zero Balancing can help with anxiety. Dr. Misty Rhoads of Eastern Illinois University designed this study, which describes how receiving a series of Zero Balancing sessions can impact the feelings and symptoms of anxiety. A more extensive replicated study is underway this year, which will expand the exploration of how skilled touch, like Zero Balancing, can play a significant role in integrating life's challenges and empowering healthy growth and development.

Background: The predominance of anxiety is currently at record levels, and the need for non-pharmaceutical approaches to help alleviate and decrease the harmful effects of anxiety on an individual and collective level is necessary. This study explored how Zero Balancing supports individuals with anx...

Hey, OT friends,

I am pleased to recommend a powerful article on the benefits of Zero Balancing in an Occupational Therapy practice. Congratulations to author Deanna Waggy, OT, whose experience adds a wonderful depth to this important addition to OT literature. Enjoy it in the link below.

Does Zero Balancing touch therapy positively impact occupational performance?

This is a question many Occupational Therapists (OTs) ask when discerning if Zero Balancing (ZB) is an evidence-based treatment modality. Case studies from the book Experiencing the Power of Zero Balancing: Case Studies of Journeys to Health and Wholeness (Quarry & King, 2016), published by Upledger Productions, were reviewed and compared to the Occupational Therapy domain of practice to show clear evidence that each case study had a positive impact on occupational performance.

A comparison chart shows a direct link between the occupational categories and documented evidence of improved occupational performance through practitioner observation and client feedback following ZB treatment.

This is a great case study by Mary Behrens, PT and ZB practitioner, and upcoming faculty member on treating vestibular migraines. Thank you, Mary, for writing up your wonderful work. Check out her article below and while you are at it, all the other wonderful articles in the International Journal of Zero Balancing and Transformative Touch.

This remarkable case study by Mary Behrens, PT, highlights a patient referred for rehabilitation with vestibular migraine, who was unable to take migraine medication. He was treated with Zero Balancing, a manual therapy technique that balances body structure with energy. After seven treatments his migraines were relieved and he no longer needed therapy.
