Positive research findings show ZB helps reduce anxiety.

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.

Grounded in Touch: The Science Behind Anxiety Relief and Human Connection
by Misty Rhoads, Mary Murphy, et al.

Anxiety disorders are among the most pervasive mental health challenges worldwide, affecting individuals across all demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds. As a leading contributor to disability and diminished quality of life, anxiety continues to rise in prevalence, exacerbated by global crises and societal stressors. This study explored how Zero Balancing (ZB) supports individuals with anxiety. Researchers hypothesized that ZB would lower the perceived severity of general anxiety and reduce perceived anxiety symptoms. 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.

In conclusion, Zero Balancing effectively reduced anxiety severity and symptoms, highlighting the critical role of somatic awareness in anxiety management.

Zero Balancing is a system of bodywork for wellness and personal transformation.

Zero Balancing teaches a form of skilled, conscious touch to the deepest part of us, our bones. It was first described by founder Dr. Fritz Smith as a structural acupressure system of healing. Over the past 50 years, as an understanding of the healing potential of ZB has deepened, with many thousands of people around the world across all age groups receiving sessions, Zero Balancing has been shown again and again to serve as a profound tool in support of wellness and personal transformation.

"With ZB we have the opportunity to introduce a person to a deeper level of who they are.”

This principle is true in the practice of Zero Balancing - and also in life.

"If you can balance something to neutral without judgment or comparison by holding it in its own space, it will naturally move to its highest possible benefit."
Fritz Smith, MD, Zero Balancing founder

"In a Zero Balancing session, I'm simply providing a base of support which might allow you to feel safe, and thereby to let go. The more you let go, the more I know that's the case." - Fritz Smith, MD
