has anyone done NeuroCranial Restructuring?
Sounds a bit risky but I am intrigued.
I performed NCR on myself as per Ben's guide a few times in 2016. The first inflation produced several cracking and squeezing noises in the sphenoid-maxillary area. It was after this that my posterior cranial sutures would begin shifting in response to certain movements, a process that is still going today. Subsequent inflations did not seem to provide any additional benefits. Self-treatment guide in attachment.
@progress thanks!

That's really interesting. How did you decide which side to inflate in? Did you end up doing inflations on both sides?

At first I inflated in all three turbinates on one side per session, and in later sessions in all six. I don't know if it matters which turbinate you inflate in, or if I just got lucky by achieving so much with the first inflation. I suspect that unless one side of your face has been compressed by trauma, it may be enough to simply nudge the sphenoid from any direction in order to unjam any bones that may have gotten stuck.

Is it uncomfortable? I'm all about moving the sphenoid and have had great experiences with chiropractic and osteopathy, but not a huge fan of sticking big things into my nostrils.
When the author discusses inflating on your less-developed or "weaker" side, how do you determine which that is? Isn't it all a little relative? I have a CT scan of my head but I'm not even sure what I would look for.
Do you think you could achieve the same results with just mewing alone? I've been mewing successfully for close to 2 years.
Is it uncomfortable?
There is nothing enjoyable to it. At least it's not painful. Assuming that you manage to do everything right, the process won't take longer than a few seconds per inflation. Still, it can get pretty frustrating and uncomfortable when you aren't able to guide the balloon into the correct turbinate (a lubricant like coconut oil will help). In any case, your nose will be full of thick snot for a while afterwards.

It is relative in a sense, because there are multiple ways in which a side can be "weak". As far as I know, there is no harm in inflating in a turbinate that doesn't need an inflation. so feel free to systematically go through each turbinate.

I don't know. I can only say that my posterior cranial sutures weren't mobile until after NCR. It's hard to determine whether this mobility has improved my cranial form, though it does feel like some kind of unwinding is taking place along these sutures when they shift and crackle, as if they were being ripped apart micron by micron
Hi. I have had many sessions of NCR with the doctor that created it. If you have any specific questions I’ll answer!
Is this safe? I wanna try it but don’t wanna be that fool on the internet...

Did you have inflation on both sides? Wouldn't inflating on both sides result in no net movement of the sphenoid?
It was always one side per treatment. The side that had the endonasal balloon did switch depending on the day, however. I don’t know the effects of inflating both sides.

What kind of benefits have you received from the sessions?
There weren’t any dramatic changes. I really did give it a try by receiving many treatments. Any benefits were very subtle. It might have been more obvious if I had body pain that needed to be fixed. I received NCR to help fix the shape of my face and head. Like I said the changes were minimal/unnoticeable.
