What is Functional Cranial Release?
Functional Cranial Release (FCR) is an endonasal cranial therapy developed by Dr. Lieurance in which small balloons are briefly inflated inside the nasal passages to mobilise the sphenoid and surrounding cranial bones. The aim is to improve nasal airway function, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and neurological function. Dr. Lieurance has trained 107 doctors worldwide in the technique and wrote It’s All In Your Head! and AirWays on the subject. Blocked airways lead to poor breathing and oxygen delivery, which contributes to many neurological conditions.

What is his approach to inner ear regeneration?
Dr. Lieurance treats tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, and vertigo with a regenerative protocol combining laser therapy (photobiomodulation) and stem cell therapy, rather than with hearing aids or masking alone. He wrote SunaVae on this approach. Results vary between patients, and inner ear regeneration is not a cure for all forms of hearing loss.
