What is Zero Balancing® ?
Dr. Fritz Smith received his M.D. in 1961. His training in Western Medicine could not account for things that he had experienced regarding the human body and healing. Dr. Smith felt that his medical information from his training was not incorrect, but ignored the intuitive and experiential side of life. Fritz Smith became a serious student of the use of the body’s “energy” in healing, which has been long acknowledged in Eastern philosophy. In 1973, Dr. Smith formulated the structural acupressure system of Zero Balancing to evaluate and balance the relationship between energy and structure.

Zero Balancing® is a powerful, holistic body-mind therapy that uses skilled touch to address the relationship between energy and structures of the body. Following a protocol that typically lasts 30 minutes, the practitioner uses finger pressure and gentle traction on areas of tension in the bones, joints and soft tissue to create fulcrums, or points of balance, around which the body can relax and reorganize.
Zero Balancing® focuses primarily on key joints of our skeleton that conduct and balance forces of gravity, posture and movement. By addressing the deepest and densest tissues of the body along with soft tissue and energy fields, Zero Balancing helps to clear blocks in the body’s energy flow, amplify vitality and contribute to better postural alignment. A Zero Balancing® session leaves you with a wonderful feeling of inner harmony and organization.
