If You’re in Auckland and Seeking a Game-Changing Treatment for Head Injury or Chronic Sinus Issues…
Until now, New Zealand has not had a local provider for NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) - a world-leading, non-surgical technique that directly targets structural misalignments inside the cranial vault, opening breathing pathways and relieving long-standing symptoms.
But you can now access it - exclusively - at Musculoskeletal Solutions in Christchurch, the only clinic in New Zealand offering NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) as part of their advanced head trauma protocols. This is not a therapy your GP, audiologist, ENT, or physiotherapist can replicate; it’s an entirely structural solution.Headache & Tendon NZ+12Headache & Tendon NZ+12Headache & Tendon NZ+12
Why Aucklanders Are Turning South for NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release)
A. It's the only clinic in NZ with the training & setup
Musculoskeletal Solutions is the sole clinic in New Zealand providing NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release). The founders travelled for specialised certification, invested in bespoke equipment, and run a proprietary protocol for head alignment, breathing correction, and concussion recovery.Headache & Tendon NZHeadache & Tendon NZ
B. Average sessions cost only NZD 220 - less than one quarter the price of surgery
While balloon sinuplasty (ENT-style balloon treatment) costs up to NZD 3–5,000 per nostril, NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) is delivered at Musculoskeletal Solutions for around NZD 220 per session, with most patients requiring 4–6 treatments.Headspace Physiother+15Headache & Tendon NZ+15Headache & Tendon NZ+15
C. Namely designed for structural concussion recovery
Concussion in sports like rugby often leads to chronic headaches, brain fog, dizziness, and sleep disruption. Conventional concussion clinics focus on symptom management, but NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) works directly on the cranial sutures and facial bones to restore physiological motion.Axon Integrative Health LLC+4Headache & Tendon NZ+4Headache & Tendon NZ+4
What Is NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release)?
NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) is an advanced endo-nasal inflation technique that gently mobilises the bones of the cranial vault and face through brief balloon inflations. Designed to release fixed cranial sutures and open airway structures, it improves:
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow
Venous drainage & oxygenation
Pituitary and craniofacial joint movement
Nasal nitric oxide production for breathing and immunityHeadache & Tendon NZ+3Concussion New Zealand+3Concussion New Zealand+3Headache & Tendon NZ+15Headache & Tendon NZ+15Headache & Tendon NZ+15Headache & Tendon NZ+5Headache Tendo+5Headache & Tendon NZ+5
The treatment is performed over 4 consecutive days, usually taking just 2–4 inflations per side per session (each lasting 1–2 seconds). Some describe it as a fleeting tickle or warming pressure - most don’t feel pain.Headache & Tendon NZHeadache & Tendon NZ

Key Conditions That Respond Well to NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release)
Condition | How NasalRX (CFR) Helps Structure & Symptoms |
Post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) | Mobilises cranial sutures, improves CSF drainage, reduces intracranial pressure |
Chronic migraine or headache | Relieves cranial nerve tension, rebalances circulation |
TMJ / Jaw pain / Mouth breathing | Realigns sphenoid and facial plates, opens nasal airflow |
Sinusitis / Blocked nasal passages | Unblocks turbinates, improves drainage, enhances immune air filtration |
Sleep apnea / Snoring | Restores nasal breathing, reduces oral airway stress |
Sports head injury (e.g. rugby) | Resets cranial rhythm post-impact, speeds structural recovery |
Vestibular dysfunction, tinnitus, vertigo | Releases dural tension, improves balance via sphenoid alignment |
Musculoskeletal Solutions recommends pairing NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) with cranial osteopathy, upper-cervical chiropractic, and Class 4 laser therapy depending on the case.Headache & Tendon NZ+1Headache & Tendon NZ+1Neighbourly+11Headache & Tendon NZ+11Headache & Tendon NZ+11Headache & Tendon NZ+2Concussion New Zealand+2Headache Tendo+2Headache & Tendon NZ+4Headache & Tendon NZ+4Headspace Physiother+4Headache & Tendon NZ+2Headache & Tendon NZ+2Headache & Tendon NZ+2Headache & Tendon NZAxon Integrative Health LLC+2Headache Tendo+2Headache & Tendon NZ+2Headache & Tendon NZ
Auckland-specific Benefits: Why You Shouldn’t Wait
1. Rapid, Structured Healing for Concussion
Auckland’s high-contact sports (rugby, netball, MMA) contribute to rising concussion rates. Most standard concussion care involves rest and symptom tracking - but NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) corrects skull and facial mis-alignments that conventional care rarely addresses. That structural correction leads to more lasting outcomes.Axon Integrative Health LLC+12Headache & Tendon NZ+12Headache & Tendon NZ+12
2. No Surgery, No Medication, Fewer Costs
Many Auckland residents hit the ENT route (sinuplasty, septoplasty), which carries invasive surgery risks and high expense. NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) offers a gentle, drug-free alternative with minimal risk and excellent safety profile.Headache & Tendon NZHeadache & Tendon NZ
3. Auckland to Christchurch: Easy Access
Efficient flights, affordable accommodation in Christchurch, and clustered scheduling (4 sessions over 4 days) make the trip practical. The clinic offers support for travel planning and follow-up, turning a potentially difficult treatment plan into a clear, well-supported path.
What to Expect: Pre-treatment → Follow-up
Detailed Assessment, including head injury/MRI review, posture and breathing analysis
Treatment sequence: 4 consecutive NasalRX (Cranial Facial Release) sessions, each about 30 minutes
Augment with Cranial Osteopathy or Class 4 laser if indicated
Home care: breathing practice, sleep hygiene, cranial rest
Follow-up consultation at 6 & 8 weeks
Most patients feel a noticeable shift after just one treatment - reduced pressure, clearer nasal airflow, or less headache frequency. Clinically, full calcium-suture rehydration and cranial rhythm restoration usually continue over the following 6-8 weeks.Headache & Tendon NZ+5Headache & Tendon NZ+5Headache & Tendon NZ+5
