I'm debating independent NCR to aid with fixing my asymmetry.
My skull laterally tilts to the right, making the left side of my mandible much more prominent, exaggerating my asymmetry beyond facial factors.
I'm aware there are several causes for this:
- Muscular Imbalance of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) with a stronger right SCM causing contraction,
- Lateral Pelvic Tilt altering my Centre of Mass causing my upper body posture to slant left, forcing my head to tilt right to compensate and keep my eyes level,
- C1 Atlas Misalignment causing scalp tension as well as a tighter fascia and overall lateral tilt to the left.
There are very basic solutions for these issues that include Chin Tucks and Neck Curls to even out the Muscular Imbalance of the SCM, Connor Harris' exercises to fix body posture and resolve an Altered Centre of Mass, as well as Suboccipital Fascial Release to help realign and balance the Atlas.
In theory these exercises should provide enough stimulus to fix these imbalances through muscular training, skeletal realignment, and postural means.
I'm simply wondering whether or not to carry out independent NCR.
From what I've read it should assist in reducing the skulls connective tissue tension by nudging the sphenoid in order to allow the tissue to loosen and let it retake its original shape with more ease (releasing tension in the sphenoid bone and in the skull helps it to become more loose and to be able to move more freely).

Low iq grey thread but I'd appreciate some words of wisdom from those of you that rot here.
