Question
Can facial palsy patients undergo facial tendon therapy?
Answer
For patients with facial palsy, appropriate facial massage can effectively alleviate symptoms. It can have a certain therapeutic effect. Patients can perform oral massage: facial palsy can lead to unclear speech and mouth distortion, so oral massage can alleviate the symptoms of facial palsy. Use the pad of the thumb and index finger to push from the affected side of the corner of the mouth towards the midline, then massage along the midline towards the corner of the mouth. For the lower orbicularis oris muscle, use the pad of the index and thumb fingers to push from the affected side of the corner of the mouth towards the center, then towards the affected side of the corner of the mouth.
