Ortho-bionomy & Zero Balancing

Hello!

I'm new to this site and I hope I'm doing this correctly. :}

Does anybody have tips about what Ortho-bionomy is and if it is a good technique to learn to add my massage skills?

And I have the same question about Zero Balancing.

I'm looking for some CE classes and either one sounded pretty interesting.

Hi Sarah,

I'm not familiar with Ortho-bionomy although I've heard wonderful things about it.

I am a Zero Balancing practitioner and teacher in the Boston area. I'm also a massage therapist.

ZB can help you learn to meet the client where they are and use a touch skill called Interface that helps you work without draining yourself. Zero Balancing touch is focused on the bones, joints and ligaments so it allows you to work at a deep level easily. When tension is addressed in the bones and joints, often the muscles let go on their own.

Not sure where you are, but there are 6 hour ZB courses as well as 25 hour ZB I 4-day courses that are NCBTMB approved, and they are offered across North America. You can find the complete list at www.zerobalancing.com

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. amandamtzb@gmail.com

I personally relate to Ortho-bionomy more, because its based on Jones Strain Counter Strain, and the reciprocal inhibition reflex( which is hard wired into the nervous system). Just my opinion.
