Imagine a clothed massage that gets right to the roots of the problem, without being painful or invasive. Zero Balancing (ZB) can put you in contact with a deep sense of wellness.

I use held stretches and pressure to the bone at key areas of the body. The level of pressure is such that it feels good or "hurts good".
 
Your bones, or "bone energy" is concerned with who you are at your centre, the core of who you are - whereas soft tissues are more about your emotional reactions and how you are in the everyday world.
 
People come for Zero Balancing for a wide range of complaints, ranging from frozen shoulder, or neck pain, through to emotional trauma such as shock, bereavement, early child hood experiences and abuse. It also addresses core issues such as a lack of spark in life, or lack of direction. It is a great therapy for teenagers, as it is non invasive, fully clothed and helps them find their boundaries.
 
The link between the physical, the emotional and Spirit is always important. For example frozen shoulder is frequently linked to grief or shock, which can lock up the ribs of the upper body, thus restricting the movement of the shoulder girdle. Touching at bone level allows the opportunity to let go of old trauma without the necessity of going through the emotions that you may have already visited many times. Holding stillness at the bone level takes us out of the familiar energy of the emotions and down to the wellness of the authentic self, the peaceful, still place we aim for in meditation.
