Nasal Release Technique is a method which uses an inflatable device to assist the expansion and release of the cranial sutures accessed through the nasal passages.
It is generally accepted that facial and cranial trauma, which should include birth trauma, leads to dysfunction of the brain and related systems.
We send children out into life injured by birth trauma, untreated, with disabilities already planted in their bodies. Some of these disabilities are manifested early in life and others much later.
Nasal Release Technique is a special technique that unlocks the plates of the skull, releases dural tension and restores spinal nerve function, which restores normal balance to the body systems.
The head weighs about 12 to 14 pounds and it balances on top of a little neck bone about one and a half inches in diameter. Ideally the head should be centered on the neck and the spine should curve normally at all levels down to the base of the spine. When the head is not centered, the spine compensates by twisting and turning in such a way to try and center the head and create stability.
The most important function of the spine is to maintain balance and keep us upright. When the spine shifts position to compensate for a cranial fault, it no longer looks or works like a perfect spine.
The head also houses the brain and nervous system. The rest of the nervous system is housed in the spine with nerves running to all parts of the body. Inside the brain is where the cerebrospinal fluid is made. This spinal fluid keeps the nervous system lubricated from the head to the tailbone.
The skull is not just one bone, but is made up of many bones that come together forming the head. The skull has 6 major places where the plates come together. There are also many minor plates such as in the face. These plates are connected together with a hinge. The hinge lets the skull expand and contract as we breathe or chew. The spinal fluid pumps down the entire spine to nourish it.
The major skull bone or plate which serves as the axis or foundation bone, is called the sphenoid bone. This bone is the strongest bone, the most difficult to access and move, and the most resistant to change. The sphenoid bone is positioned horizontally, running from temple to temple. It is the primary point of stability for the entire skull, housing 1/4 of all 67 interlocking skull joints and it balances like a seesaw on both sides of the head.
As we breathe in and out, the skull expands and allows the sphenoid bone to balance in the cerebrospinal fluid. The eyes also balance with the sphenoid bone.
During the course of life, we have trauma at birth, accidents and falls, sports injuries, medical procedures, severe emotional and biochemical traumas that can cause the plates of the skull to jam and lock up.
Various injuries to the skull can cause the skull to lock up which causes the sphenoid bone to be repositioned.
The sphenoid bone was designed to stay balanced at all times.
If the sphenoid bone is locked, the body will balance itself by twisting and turning some other part of the body to maintain stability.
When the body counter balances for the trauma and it becomes twisted, or out of order, other problems start to come into play.
The spinal fluid cannot circulate as well, which causes the messages from the brain to the body parts to slow down or stop altogether. If the message does not get to the particular body part or if the message is not clear, it can cause health problems.
The body does not need a drug or something cut out, it simply needs to restore the correct balance to the body.
The sphenoid bone is difficult to access by outside methods. Such methods do not exert enough of a degree of force to achieve major movement of the skull bones. Nasal Release Technique uses leverage, not force, to move the sphenoid. The bones of the skull are unlocked by applying pressure from the inside of the nose to affect movement of the sphenoid.
The actual technique involves the insertion and inflation of small balloons through the nasal passages into the throat. This is inserted between the nasal turbinates and inflated. Up to eight insertions are done; lower, middle, upper then below the lower turbinate again. At first it inflates just inside the entrance to the nostril, but soon expands into the upper throat due to increased air pressure. As it does, the joints of the head are stretched at precisely the proper location and angle, pushing locked bones open. While there are only two nostrils, there are actually six nasal passages leading into the throat, three on each side. Each nasal passage affects a different area of the sphenoid bone.
Ultimately, Nasal Release Technique causes the bones of the skull to move better.
