Thank you, Dr for your video which helps me a lot. Well Bell's palsy recovery is a time-consuming process, I got it in mid of Oct 2023, and in 4-5 months I recovered almost 99%....You explained a very useful exercise in the video. Please be patient, consult with your primary Dr and physiotherapist, and give time to your muscles for recovery because it always takes time. Recovery time is different for every person but in 1 month to 4 months, most people can recover.

"I thought it was suppose to be anti clockwise" Said who? There are multiple ways of stitching. A lot of these stretches should be tailored to your specific presentation. No two cases are exactly the same. On these ideas, I can only show one, generic way...cannot be very specific. But it is safe so you can try the way I show you here and compare results with the way you were doing it...

hello everyone...i was stricken with a facial palsy from a surgical embolization. My right eye (palsy side) will not close without my left eye, and i notice that when i do lay down to sleep my right eye opens a sliver. the date that changed my life this way was April 25, 2023...i am sorry for everyone else going through this, and i am sure like the rest of you we just want our lives back...thank you for posting these videos as i live in an area where there are literally no PTs that have any experience with this, and like every other medical professional like everywhere is backed up, as to see a neurologist was valentine's day of 2024. If anyone has any advice, or anything to help that would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much for reading, and i hope everyone has a great day!

We must be less than 30 facial therapists in the whole USA so not surprise it has been tough to find one. I am one of them and I would advise you to absolutely not use electrical stimulation. The fact that your physio is using it means they do not know much about facial rehab. Depending on where you live, I might be able to help you via online consultation to teach you what to do.

@@ButheauPhysiotherapy the PT i went to here wanted me to do estim, and actually buy a machine...then i went to speech therapy to try and help me with my mouth they have actually applied estim to me once already, and i was trying acupuncture, and he too has applied E stim to me twice now. i contacted the facial nerve center in boston, and they advised me NOT to do E stim as well as it disincentives the axons from regrowing towards the end of the muscle target. i am just a regular guy trying to get back to me.

How many times a day would you recommend doing these exercises? I'm five and a half weeks into my recovery, and still can't blink properly. I can shut my eye first thing in the morning if I concentrate, but it almost immediately tires, and then only very slightly flickers down with each blink.

Ability to close your eye is a priority and you can/should start right away. In regards to other facial exercises and synkinesis, there is a correct way to do them to prevent synkinesis. Many people don't do them right, in a forceful manner and that can lead to synkinesis, yes.

I cannot give a detailed answer if I have not assess your current situation. Many things to look at. Is your movement affected because of lack of return of nerve function, or because of tightness and synkinesis blocking your movement? I work with some people that have been dealign with this for several decades, and we tend to always be able to make some progress. But again, I don't have a full picture and cannot be specific to your case.
