Free download: What Makes Z-Health Work So Well?


Dr. Eric Cobb's Z-Health system gains its surprising power and effectiveness from one fundamental insight:

When it comes to our well-being and our physical performance, the nervous system RULES!

However, this can be VERY BAD NEWS:

If the nervous system is left entirely to its own devices, it can literally cripple you, even entirely destroy your ability to function without great pain and debilitating disease.

Attempting to be your best friend and save you from perceived threat, your nervous system can and OFTEN DOES turn into your worst enemy, playing absolute havoc with your health and happiness.

Most of us, unfortunately, have little clue and less training in how to heed and effectively respond to the danger signals from our own body, indicating that our own nervous system has got us by the throat and is slowly throttling the life out of us.

Great athletes have their careers cut short. The average athlete declines into sub-par mediocrity. The rest of us struggle increasingly with performance-crimping pains and aches and eventually become empty husks compared to our vibrant former selves.

Many of us get trapped on an endless treadmill of expensive massage, chiropractic, nouveau diets, gizmos and one "magical promise" treatment after another, looking in vain for a fix to our woes. Many of us even resort to pain-killing drugs and other destructive medications. (Which at best just numb us toward an even speedier decline…)

Sadly, most of us simply continue to deteriorate, in strength, in flexibility, in performance, in our general health.

Through ignorance, we give away our power to the nervous system and let it contribute to our quicker destruction…

But it absolutely DOESN'T have to be that way!

If we can understand—truly understand—how the nervous system really operates we can form a WIN-WIN partnership with our "ruler"—and radically shift the balance of power.

Instead of being the unwitting victims of a despot run rampant, we become the guiding pilots of a magnificently tuned and calibrated system for supreme physical performance!

Enter Dr. Eric Cobb's Z-Health program—giving you everything you need—not only to regain full control of your body—but also to ramp up your physical performance to almost "superstar" levels.

Brilliant, immensely erudite, Dr. Cobb has explored every imaginable avenue in his constant quest to push the human performance envelope. From esoteric Russian health systems, to Feldenkreis and somatics, to sports, to martial arts, to the frontiers of Western neuroscience, Dr. Cobb has made it his life-purpose to understand how we can live truly pain-free, high-performance lives.

And be it the professional athlete or the formerly bed-ridden housewife—the results have spoken for themselves. Time and time again: careers resurrected or jump-started. Shattered lives rebuilt. Hope rekindled. Vibrant life reclaimed.

Having watched an increasing number of our best RKCs go through the Z-Health program and report amazing results… and having myself attended the six-day Z-Health R-Phase certification, I was confident enough in Z-Health to organize a 3-day introduction to Dr. Cobb's system, for a larger audience.

Right now, Z-Health is the inner success secret for an elite group of high performers and trainers—and a handful of lucky lay folk.

But I think it's a crying shame that such a dramatically powerful health and performance system continues to remain almost "under wraps". The private reserve of a lucky few who are in the know.

So, at my personal invitation, Dr. Cobb has agreed to share key insights and drills from THREE levels of his Z-Health certification program.

Until now, you would have had to invest many, many thousands of dollars to access this information—over a very extended period of time.

Now, finally you can access much of this amazing knowledge for a fraction of that expense in both time and money!

So, as a fortunate participant, here's what you will walk way with after attending Dr. Cobb's Z-Health: The Essential Secrets of Elite Performance…

Become an equal partner with your nervous system when you discover how to dramatically enhance your pain-free health and performance ACROSS THE BOARD.

Discover how to take advantage of your natural inborn reflexes—to make them HELP you, not hinder you. Hardly a soul on the planet really understands how to do this. Now, YOU'LL know!

Get a "best of" approach to learning the practical application of Z-Health principles, drills, and techniques utilized by elite athletes around the world.

Be spoon-fed the essential theory behind the scientific breakthroughs—Dr. Cobb is brilliant at turning the most sophisticated "neurophysiology of performance" into a simple set of easy-to-grasp and easy-to-apply formulas. He's done the heavy lifting for you—now just gulp down and get going!

And speaking of spoon-fed, don't worry, there will be nothing on the menu that resembles a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma":

Your Z-Health course is going to be strictly a "meat and potatoes" affair—filled with high-payoff drills, exercises and concepts you can immediately apply to enhance your life, health and performance.

This course is going to be ALL ABOUT PAYOFF in the field of performance. We're talking a severe bang for your buck in the world of real physical movement—whether it be gardening in your back yard pain-free, or competing on the highest level as a professional athlete.

Day 1 (R-Phase Emphasis)

1. Prepare to be wowed

There's nothing like a demonstration of compellingly fast results, to turn your head faster than Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Dr. Cobb will give you demos from each Z-Health level and show you IMMEDIATE changes in performance. See for yourself right up front, how Z-Health is a systematic program that transforms "average Joes" into "natural athletes", as a matter of course.

2. Learn how to focus on the real prize—with the Z-Health "Lens"

Modern "fitness-speak" can be an incredible kaleidoscope of contrary opinions and strategies. When you start viewing things through this powerful Z-Health "Lens", you'll no longer be confused about what's right and what's wrong!

3. Understand the body's movement map

Sadly, only a handful of trainers and docs and therapists have kept up with the astonishing performance applications to be gained from the recent advances in modern science. The insights you gain here will be worth the price of admittance alone…

4. Grasp and forever own the fundamentals of pain-free, effective movement

Discover how the muscles, nerves and joints MUST interact for truly effective and pain-free movement—and the critical role played in all of this by the Central Nervous System.

5. Understand how to turn the Governing Law of human physiology into your personal fitness slave

If you don't understand this key principle—and know how to manipulate it to your advantage—your training will suffer forever!

Quite frequently in the seminar, Dr. Cobb will do his best impersonation of a miner brandishing a gold ingot the size of Mike Tyson's fist. Expect to see this glittering ingot right here, as the good Doctor reveals one of the most prized principles behind the Z-Health magic.

6. Learn the single most important question you can ask yourself about your training

If you don't ask it and act correctly on the answer—you belong back on the treadmill with the other hamsters!

7. Understand—and learn to master—the dynamics of survival vs. performance

Your body's unconscious drive to protect itself and survive, could be dramatically sabotaging your performance. Understand how to get the best of both worlds, so you can be a world-class performer AND stay safe.

8. Understand why the secret to performance success often lies in what you do—or don't do—with your joints

Learn why and how correctly performed mobility work builds strength and performance at blink-of-an-eye speed.

9. How to succeed at home and keep on track with your newfound Z-Health skills

Learn a crucial "home testing system" that guarantees you be able to monitor and self-correct your progress.

10. Take away the entire R-Phase Toolbox

The goal of the first phase of Z-Health is to learn the movement ABCs. Known for its ultra-precise joint mobility drills, the 160+ drills of R-Phase will ensure you function at your best. When you own these fundamentals, you also own your future success!

Day 2 (I-Phase Emphasis)

1. Graduate from the Movement Alphabet to Movement Fluency

To maintain our vigor, vitality and high performance in real life, we need to stir it up with an entertaining mix of more complex moves—while maintaining our mastery of the fundamentals. Here's how you learn to do that successfully!

2. Learn to create your own mobility programs using the Z-Health Movement Template approach

From the ABCs to Movement Fluency, it is essential to learn how to create your own movement templates, to meet the demands of your sport or life, and to be able to create new and improved programs for yourself as you grow and alter your programs and life.

Here's a crash course in movement creativity—another "bonus" worth the price of admission all by itself!

3. Understand the body's Neural Hierarchy (Visual, Vestibular & Proprioceptive) and how problems in any of them can negatively affect your strength and performance

When you learn Math, you begin with addition and subtraction. You don't begin with differential equations, because you can't. The body's movement hierarchy is no different and contains an equally essential progression. Get it here!

4. Learn how the visual muscles function reflexively and how to use this information to make immediate gains in strength, speed, flexibility and mobility

Because of the dominance of vision to movement for the sake of survival, it is possible to work WITH your NS to make IMMEDIATE changes by adding in different eye positions.

5. Learn drills to strengthen the visual muscles and maximize your positive gains.

The eyes are moved by muscles and keeping them strong and capable is essential for decreasing the threat to the body—and to getting the best results in working with your nervous system, not against it.

6. What the Vestibular System is, how it works and what this means for your athletic abilities.

The vestibular system is second in the hierarchy of movement, and is also ESSENTIAL for creating better movement skill. Here's another key to working with your body—not against it—for reaching your specific goals at rapid speed.

7. The Startle Reflex and its relation to the vestibular system.

Understanding the dynamics of the Startle Reflex and its impact on your vestibular system is vital. Know accurately when you are working with your own body and when you are working against it or fighting yourself.

8. Learn elite-level balance training drills

Discover a set of vestibular training challenges, from the I-Phase template. Learn to recognize when injury is most likely to happen and how to prepare your body to avoid it.

9. Learn baseline testing, visual and vestibular drills and skills

Learn eye position testing for assessing if the eyes are having a problem. And what you can do to fix it.

Day 3 (S-Phase Emphasis)

1. Putting it all together—moving from good to great

According to Z-Health, all of the goals you set have MOVEMENT at the foundation. It is not possible to achieve your goals without a GREAT movement foundation and without working within the guidelines of the NS in charge. But more then just a foundation of great movement there has to be great movement at the more elite level. The body is capable of it and the nervous system craves the growth, learning, change and challenge of complexity.

The final day will help you move to this higher level.

2. Understanding the difference between visual muscles, visual acuity and "field vision"

20/20 does not mean you have good vision or even good sports vision or good field vision. Each of these is a trained skill that can be taught and learned. Find out more here!

3. How to develop elite level visual skills in just 3 minutes per day

4. Learn key visual drills

Master Eye Tracking, Near Far, Peripheral Vision Drills, "Snapshot" Drill, Hand/Eye Drills, Hand/Foot Coordination Drills.

5. Learn Linear Speed basics

Almost all athletes need great explosive linear speed over very short distances. This is all about TECHNIQUE OVER RAW HORSEPOWER. Learn the technical drills that will separate you from the competition.

Here are the essentials for teaching the most average athlete to move like he is elite!

6. Discover the secrets of mastering Lateral Speed

In addition to great linear speed, the best athletes can move in any direction effortlessly and powerfully. Once again, technique rules!

7. How to massively develop your power

While technique is vital so is power! Learn the unique Z-Health approach to total body power called Upper Body/Lower Body Differentiation

What are people
saying about
Z-Health ?

"There is no doubt that the specific technique which you taught me is what gave me the ability to help our team win that Gold Medal!"

"This tape includes just a few of the highlights of our experience. I hope you enjoy the outcome, and can realize your significant role in our success. Once again. Thanks."
—Steve, US 2004 International Taekwondo Federation World Championship Team

"My confidence as a trainer has skyrocketed! I know I can help clients on a deeper level, not just superficially. I am also attracting the clients I have always wanted: intelligent people that want to be educated and want more than a quick change. My job satisfaction is at its highest."

"While most trainers focus on training muscles for the short term & forget about their client when they're off their books, we can change minds and entire systems, inevitably!"

"I am able to more quickly help clients, and better understand the underlying physiological reasoning of how to make change in their system. It has resulted in more frequent immediate pain relief situations. I can hone in on their deficiencies, see the whole picture and pinpoint the culprit(s) nearly every single time. With clients that have had chronic balance issues, or were just not 'getting it' for a given kettlebell drill, regardless or external cues, I saw immediate changes. Their bodies and mind finally 'got it.' It cleaned-up their form/movement effortlessly."

"This certification has perfected my other certifications. Z aids in the complete understanding of the information provided, or left out of, other certifications. It fills in the gaps left by other schools."
—Sara Cheatham, Senior RKC, RIST

"Z-Health gave me my life back!"

"After nearly three months of continuous debilitating low back pain and countless trips to my chiropractor I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Eric Cobb and being introduced to Z-Health. In one private assessment session and with a handful of simple mobility/movement exercises I was completely pain free in 72 hours."

"Dr. Cobb has developed a system of movement re-education therapy that is extremely effective. I believe the Z-Health system will revolutionize your life, enhance your practice and assist your clients to better health."
—Dan O'Clair, BS, LMT

"Consistently amazing myself at the % of people who I am actually able to help rid of pain instead of 'working around it' as I did before Z."

"I-Phase is comprehensive and places you into .1% of personal trainers once you fully grasp what you have your hands on."

"After S-Phase, my own performance has improved greatly overall. At age 31, I am a much better athlete now than I ever was in my high school/college years."
—Brad Nelson, RKC Team Leader, RIST

"I dance better at 48 ever than I have. I have no pain, or if I do, I can relieve it."

"As a choreographer, Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor, I have had diverse experiences with different movement modalities and have used them to make changes in my strength and mobility in dance. But Z-Health has helped me make the most significant changes."

"My strength and range of motion have improved and I feel better than I did 20 years ago. Utilizing Z with Pilates and Gyrotonic clients has allowed them to experience more range of motion and many are pain free after years of limited mobility. Z addresses issues unlike any other movement system I have used and I highly recommend it to any trainer wishing to increase their expertise."
—Lisa Fehrman, RIST

"First, let me say that I have never considered myself an athlete. I never participated in sports, as I was never taught how. This past weekend I learned the skills, I was blown away that I could move so well!"

"Second, my chunking has changed regarding my athletic abilities, as I continue to develop my skills in all activities."
—Kathy Martinez, RKC, RIST

"Z offers an integrated approach (proprioception, visual, vestibular) to athletic development. Most athletic training falls miserably short in this regard."
—Mike Nelson, RKC, RIST

"I like to think that taking a Z-Health certification often creates 'informed intuition' or helps one identify things that he sees without really knowing the cause."

"In my case, I was most surprised by the heightened sense of awareness I gained with regard to postural compensations based on visual issues. Identifying a compensation is the first step; knowing the exact cause allows you to effectively fix it with greater accuracy and precision. Any trainer that has gone through S-Phase has a distinct advantage in this regard."
—Mike Yuhaniak, RIST

"S-Phase is where the rubber hits the road! All of the rehab work, all of the improved movement patterns, all of the precision culminates at S-Phase! This is where we sprint, jump, slip and plyo our way to superior technique and awesome power."

"S-Phase is where the science and practice of Z-Health Performance expresses itself on the practical level. Not only new techniques, but traditional techniques get the scientific improvement they need. Progressions that allow anyone to begin the journey to reach their true athletic potential. Progressions for the already-an-athlete to fine tune what they have been missing; to shed away those things that their have been practicing that are unneeded."

Strength expressed as power equals real sports movement. Not just your typical 'OK, here is your sprint intervals for you sport' kind of plan. Sport-specific and athlete-specific training that you can implement immediately. Techniques to improve your biomechanics TODAY not in 4-6 weeks."

"Your athletes will realize you are part of the top performance program in the world. Once you are through S-Phase you won't want to wait to do it again!"
—Zachariah Salazar, RKC, RIST

"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! I can't believe the amazing results after one session."

"For the first time in months I can sit at my desk and drive my car without horrible lower back pain. My back feels better every single day. I am so grateful!!! Thank you for a miracle"
—Christi R., Phoenix, AZ

"I'm really blown away by this stuff!"

"After doing my prescribed exercises last night I was able to drop down into the most comfortable full squat since I was a kid! I've been telling everyone I know about Z-Health."
—Chris Powers

"The Z-Health seminar was amazing. Being a little skeptical, and not knowing what was going to happen, it turned out to be very educational and is now a critical part of our sports performance programs."

"The results are immediate, as we saw ourselves during the seminar. We are seeing the same immediate results in our athletes. Since the introduction to Z-Health, we have been using it to show our clients we can provide immediate results within 15 minutes."

"For example we have a client who was unable to perform overhead squats because he lacked flexibility in his shoulders and hips due to several accidents. In 10 minutes he was performing a full overhead squat after some Z-Health. He has been going to a chiropractor and massage therapist without good results. They were working mainly on his muscles, which were not the problem. His joint mobility was limiting his ability to bring his arms and legs back into a proper position to overhead squat."

"Z-Health allows you to get back into touch with your body and free up the body's ultimate potential to perform. I recommend this to all walks of life. This is something not just for doctors and sports performance coaches, but for anyone. It is easy to learn and easy to apply on your own."
—Shawn Hanrahan, Advanced Athletic Performance

"I am blown away by Z-Health. In all of my years of martial arts, competitive athletics and whatever other kind of health, movement stuff I have been around nothing has felt as organic and truthful as Z-Health."

"Dr. Cobb is an incredible educator. Taking wonderful material and showing it in a very simple, digestible and fun way. There was no extra stuff....just the pure integrity of the material. For anyone that wants to improve the quality and range of their movement, enjoy moving more, prevent the risk of injury, improve coordination Z is an obvious answer. As I am writing this I am trying to think of someone who couldn't benefit from Z.....I was unsuccessful.... Thanks again."
—Fabian Hewitt

"After attending a Z-Health seminar taught by Dr. Eric Cobb, everything started to change."

"Somewhere during the first class the pain left my hamstring and the flexibility returned. In fact, not only had it returned within that 3-hour period but also over the next 2 weeks of doing Z-Health it also increased! My shoulder's flexibility returned also and within a couple of days the pain that I experienced in specific ranges of motion disappeared."

"I have been doing the Z-Health exercises everyday. They are fun and addictive because I feel so good during and after. My overall flexibility and agility has improved enormously. My posture and even the way that I walk have changed. I have shown the exercises to several of my clients and all that have done them consistently have received similar results to my own. I have also integrated them into the warm up for my martial arts classes. I look forward to learning more about this remarkable system for wellness and athletic performance."
—Ricky Johnston, massage therapist and martial arts instructor

"After attending one of Dr. Cobb's Z-Health seminars, I immediately added the movements into my weekly routine… I practice Tai Chi and Gung Fu, and the Z-Health movements dramatically improved my balance, flow, and efficiency."

"The movements are fun, deceptively simple, and adaptable to any person's ability. After two weeks of practicing the moves, I noticed improvements in my weight lifting and rock climbing as well. Dr. Cobb is an excellent instructor. He is friendly, patient, and a walking advertisement for the moves. His natural grace, youth, and enthusiasm are inspiring. Even a Tai Chi master would be impressed. Go out and find a seminar!"
—Bob Martin

"I had an arm injury to my left forearm for about five years. As a left-handed Tennis Professional this made work very difficult and my only option was to teach and play right-handed, and do most things with my opposite hand because this injury at times was very painful and persistent."

"After many rounds of physical therapy, opinions of 5 orthopedic surgeons, and every alternative medicine around, I found something that gave me quick results. After applying the exercises that I learned at the Z-Health workshop my arm started to respond immediately and I began doing things that I had not done in years."

It has been about two months and there is no trace of pain in my arm anymore. I have successfully competed in some tennis tournaments and have put my arm under some rigorous situations in the gym and on the tennis court. Every day I do the simple circular motions and I'm very grateful to have found Z-health."
—Brendan Sheehan

"Z-Health has made my work day enjoyable again."

"Because of my occupation, back health is vital to career longevity and pain free living. I do my Z-Health exercises before I go to work and have had great results in dramatically decreasing lower back discomfort during work hours and eliminating lower back fatigue after work hours."
—Julia M. Brown

"The improvements have been nothing short of a miracle!"

"I recently met up with Fawn Friday, a friend I had not seen for several years. Fawn was shocked to see how limited my mobility was. I was in a great deal of pain and had been for several years since a horse riding accident left me with my leg and ankle broken in seven places. Despite three operations and various doctors' treatments, I was left unable to walk pain free and had been forced to give up dancing, something my husband and I loved to do. Fawn told me she had recently been on a course learning the Dr Cobb method of joint movement, and asked if she could try out some of her newly acquired skills. Figuring I had nothing to lose I decided to give it a go."

"She showed me some exercises, none of which were painful and all of which took only a few minutes to complete. The result was incredible, I was able to walk across the floor, stand on tip toes and walk backwards, completely pain free. It was an incredibly emotional moment, I had given up hope of being able to walk properly and had resigned myself to shuffling through life in pain, I was so happy I was walking and crying and hugging Fawn, frightened to sit down in case it went away! Fawn showed me which exercises to concentrate on and the improvements have been nothing short of a miracle."

"I can now take my dog for a walk each day, ride my bicycle, walk to the local store, and best of all I can go dancing with my husband again! I recommend Fawn Friday and the Dr Cobb joint movement method to anyone experiencing mobility pain and I hope that like me, you can enjoy a pain-free walk through your life. You have nothing to loose but your pain!"
—Catherine Johnson
