Nasal Release
Technique

For headaches, TMJ, airway and cranial tension

Some problems around the head, face, and neck don't fully resolve with standard approaches. That's where Nasal Release Technique may come in.

Who It Helps

Conditions We Use NRT For

At R3 Physio in Keller, we use Nasal Release Technique as part of a broader systems-based plan for certain types of:

Migraines and headaches
TMJ-related pain and jaw tension
Facial / sinus pressure, including "behind the eyes"
Airway-related issues (feeling "blocked," difficulty taking a full breath)
Some performance-limiting issues in singers, performers, and dancers

The Technique

What Is Nasal Release Technique?

A small, soft balloon is gently placed into specific areas inside the nose. The balloon is briefly inflated, then deflated and removed. This is done in a controlled, stepwise fashion on each side as appropriate.

Throughout the process, we're also paying close attention to:

  • Your breathing and airway
  • Eye position and overall nervous-system response
  • How your neck, jaw, and cranial base are moving

What Patients Report

Many Patients Describe

Easier breathing or a greater sense of openness in the nose and throat
Reduced pressure in the face or head
Changes in jaw, neck, or shoulder tension

Our Approach

How It Fits Our Systems-Based Approach

We never perform Nasal Release Technique in isolation from your story. Before recommending it, we'll look at:

Your headache / migraine / TMJ / airway history
Past injuries, concussions, whiplash, or surgeries
How your neck, jaw, ribs, and upper spine are working together
Other systems that may be contributing (e.g., nervous-system overload)

If Nasal Release Technique is appropriate, it will be one tool among others — hands-on work, movement, nervous-system regulation — aimed at changing the underlying patterns, not just chasing symptoms.

Candidacy

Is NRT Right for You?

Nasal Release Technique is not for everyone. It may not be appropriate if you have:

Certain sinus or nasal conditions
Specific medical or surgical histories
Significant anxiety about any intra-nasal procedures

We will always explain the process in detail, obtain informed consent, and stop immediately if you're uncomfortable.
