Cranio Facial Release is an advanced technique that targets the bones and tissues of the skull, face, and upper airway. It involves gently inserting small, specialized balloons into the nasal passages and briefly inflating them to mobilize cranial structures and enhance sinus drainage, circulation, and neurological flow.
Though it may sound unconventional, this therapy is based on the principles of cranial biomechanics and is gaining popularity among athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and individuals with structural imbalances affecting breathing, cognition, or posture.
Reduction in sinus pressure and congestion
Relief from chronic headaches and migraines
Enhanced breathing and airway function
Improved TMJ and jaw alignment
Neurological reset for post-concussion and trauma recovery
Better balance, posture, and nervous system regulation
Mod Doc’s integrated approach combines structural therapies with functional diagnostics to support total-body healing. CFR fits perfectly within that philosophy—it doesn’t just treat symptoms, it restores flow and function.
For patients who have tried medications, CPAP, or even surgery without success, CFR offers a gentle, non-invasive alternative. We often pair CFR with manual therapy, breathwork, or energy work depending on your individual needs.
CFR sessions are quick, lasting around 15–20 minutes. Most patients report feeling a sense of release, clarity, and improved nasal airflow right away. A series of treatments over several visits may be recommended for lasting results.
We typically recommend CFR for patients dealing with sinus dysfunction, sleep apnea symptoms, facial trauma, jaw misalignment, or post-concussion syndrome. If you're unsure, schedule a consult and we’ll perform a full evaluation to determine if CFR is a good fit for your care plan.
We offer Cranio Facial Release at both our Draper and Farr West clinics. Book your appointment at www.moddoc.com and experience what real alignment and breathwork feels like—from the inside out.
