Cranial facial release

What is Cranial Facial Release?

Cranial Facial Release (or “CFR”) is a gentle, non-surgical technique that involves adjusting the internal structures of the skull to help facilitate natural cranial movement. Using a specialized balloon device, we carefully release tension and restriction in the cranial system , supporting everything from sinus health to brain function.

How does cranial facial release work?

Cranial Facial Release is a specialized, endo-nasal technique designed to gently adjust the internal structures of the skull — specifically targeting the sphenoid bone, a central bone that influences the movement of other cranial bones and affects neurological function, breathing, and sinus health.

During a CFR session:

  • A small, medical-grade balloon is inserted into the nasal passage.

  • The balloon is then briefly inflated to help release tension and mobilize the cranial bones.

  • This gentle adjustment restores natural cranial respiratory motion, helping to relieve pressure, improve blood flow, and support proper alignment within the skull.

Though it sounds intense, the procedure is quick, safe, and performed by trained professionals in a supportive, calming environment. Many patients describe immediate improvements in breathing, head and neck tension, and overall clarity after treatment.

Who Can Benefit From CFR?

CFR has shown positive results for individuals managing a wide range of neurological, structural, and respiratory conditions, including:

  • Breathing disorders & chronic sinus issues

  • Snoring & sleep apnea

  • TMJ dysfunction

  • Migraine headaches

  • Vertigo & tinnitus

  • Post-concussion syndrome & head trauma

  • Trigeminal neuralgia & facial paralysis (including Bell's Palsy)

  • Insomnia & chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Seizures, epilepsy, and neurological disorders

  • Learning disorders & attention difficulties

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional imbalances

  • Vision challenges (stigmatism, glaucoma)

  • Hearing impairments

  • And more
