Cheryl Bristow Zero Balancing Bodywork Practitioner - Greystone Bodywork

I am passionate about Zero Balancing and what it can achieve. So much so, I have gone from being a client of Anne Kershaw to studying Zero Balancing with Anne to become a certified practitioner with the Zero Balancing Association New Zealand/Australia (ZBANZA).

A gentle non invasive way to deal with stress. It is beneficial for a wide range of people and is effective in many ways. It is the first bodywork technique to focus on the relationship of body energy and body structure. The integration of western knowledge of body structure with eastern understanding of energy and healing.

Zero Balancing originated in the USA from Fritz Smith in 1973, a doctor of Osteopathy , master of Acupuncture. It is the first bodywork technique to focus on body energy with body structure, using a skilled touch known as "interface", it is gentle and non-invasive, yet a powerful system that balances energy in the deepest tissues of the body - the bones, and ligaments.

Zero Balancing works WITH your body using specific finger pressure and held stretches called fulcrums. A fulcrum provides a point of stillness around which energy and structure can reorganise.

Pain often occurs where energy flow is blocked, or weakened. This can be caused by emotional or mental stress or as a result of an accident or injury. Zero Balancing works with the whole body whilst being able to address specific areas of physical pain.
