Zero Balancing, or ZB, was developed by Fritz Smith, MD, and draws upon his background in both osteopathy and acupuncture, thus integrating fundamental principles of western medicine with eastern concepts of energy. This technique provides the possibility of healing by addressing the energy flow of the skeletal system. By working with bone energy, Zero Balancing seeks to correct imbalances which may be the result of stress, injury, or trauma. ZB uses fulcrums - gentle lifting and traction focused on the bones and joints - to clear these blockages and allow stronger, clearer currents to flow.
