FREELY MOVEABLE JOINTS

“Beyond the protocol”, with Alan Hext, UK

November 6th - 9th  2026

Catalonia, Spain

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

FREELY MOVEABLE JOINTS is an advanced-level Zero Balancing course that expands our focus from the foundation and semi-foundation joints to include the “freely moveable joints” of the body. These joints present unique therapeutic challenges because of the variety of their anatomy and their great ranges of motion. By the end of the program you will have the skills to evaluate and balance freely moveable joints and the knowledge to devise your own fulcrums to meet the specific needs of a given situation.

In FREELY MOVEABLE JOINTS we will review basic ZB principles and highlight their application to a number of joints in light of their specific anatomy. The skills and education inherent in this course will broaden your Zero Balancing abilities and will improve your Zero Balancing sessions.

 

Prerequisites: ZBI and ZBII
