Cranial Fascia Release Technique (CFRT) is a form of Cranial-fascia manipulation focusing on the relationship between the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the cranium, face, and jaw. It is used to treat chronic pain, headaches, TMJ disorders, migraines, and postural dysfunction.
CFRT moves the joints of the skull to release tension in muscles around them and restore proper function to their related joints. The method works by gently manipulating specific muscles in the face and neck that are responsible for the alignment of other bones in those areas.
The goal of CFRT is not to cure the disease but rather to help patients with chronic pain find relief from symptoms caused by underlying problems like misalignment or muscle imbalance. The treatment may be used alongside other therapies such as physical therapy or chiropractic care.
