When you get head butted

I had an old client return to clinic this weekend. I wish it had been under more favourable circumstances.
Unfortunately a few weeks ago they were walking home, and got head butted in a crazy ambush situation.
The swelling had gone down, and there were now no visible signs anything had happened, but they were still not feeling quite right.

The dysfunction was systemic, meaning, from a neurological point of view nothing was working correctly. It’s hardly surprising they weren’t feeling themselves.

The head butt had been square on the bridge of the nose and from a slightly elevated position. We found two areas dysfunctional.
An area of over activity was discovered on the left side of the nose, around the nasalis muscle. The second area was underactive just above the right eyebrow, around frontalis.
We released the fascial tissue around nasalis using a very specific vector, and activated areas which we had predetermined were the most crucial for them.
Fascial release can, on occasion, release emotional trauma – neurological residue – as well, meaning the receiver might relive the moments or feelings associated with the event which led to the dysfunction. I was thankful they trusted me to do this work after such a harrowing experience.

The upshot was everything started working as it should and the were feeling more secure within themselves. I suspect we may have a little more work to do with the neck muscles and possibly the eyes, but we can save that for another day 🧠💪🏻

Wherever you are, and what ever you’re doing stay safe, and keep well ❤️
