I was diagnosed Bells Palcy earlier on 30 Nov 2023. Doctor gived me 3 medicine, and should do Phisioterapy two times a week & Accupunture 3 times a week. This video very helpfull, because I can not closed my eyes. Hope I can recovery soon. Please pray for me 🙏. Thanks 🙏
It's a great exercise, imagine have suffered with bells palsey from 2016 until I saw your clips on UA-cam.I want to thank you,now I have healed 100% on a span of 3 week's,
Hi, thank you for all your videos. Question: when I take away my eye patch, the affected eye stays open (can't blink), but the good eye immediately wants to close. What is that and how can I avoid that?
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. Like all these good folks on here, i am thankful for you taking time to post these videos. i live in central maine, and just hoping to get "back to me"...i will check the link...thank you very much for taking the time, and caring!
@@ButheauPhysiotherapy thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me, but unfortunately i do not live in Washington state, so i cannot do the online session. Any help you could suggest i would so greatly appreciate as i am pretty hopeless at the moment. i hope you have a great rest of your day, and thank you so much for taking the time, and caring!

19 days now, i see u massaging above your eye in a clockwise motion, I thought it was suppose to be anti clockwise. U are so fortunate to have recovered in 10 days.
"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...
Hey , I’ve recovered 90% percent from Bell’s palsy I just have difference in my eyes and I’m kinda worried it will stay like this forever could you suggest some exercises that will make my eyes symmetrical
Hello, I have deal with Bells about 8 months, movements are came back about 80 percent. But very slow ! In quick movement and emotional movements, it is weak ! How can i help it ?! Is it get better?!
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.
sir my improvent hasd been started since thee 1st month of diagnosis , now i,m in 3rd month if it and i have seen significant improvement , will i be fully recovered ??? and sir was it a severe type of nerve damage or normal kindly reply me../
I have a patient. She came to me after one and half month. Her symptoms started improving after one week of treatment, but after some time improvement stopped not even contraction. What should I do now?
So many questions. Was she diagnosed properly? what do you mean by improvement? Does she have any contraction of facial muscles or flaccid paralysis still?
I am progressing well. My lower eyelid developed a crease and puffy eye? Will that go away? Is that normal for the effected side to happen? I am exercising my eye and moving and holding the lower lid 30 sec with 20 or 30 reps. Will this help it
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.
@@ButheauPhysiotherapy I am aware that have passed a long time and its so difficult. But i will do everything to get better. Sorry for my bad english. Hoppe u can understand me🥰
How long have you been dealing with this? you need to keep your eye hydrated and protected. preservative free eye drops should help if you have not already.
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.
Not opening your eye is not a problem associated with Bell's palsy itself. Unless you mean your eye closing with mouth movement...smiling.... But that could be something else otherwise. See an opthalmologist
I am on day 5 of Bell's palsay. How soon can I start these eye exercises please? I have read and heard first hand from a colleague that if exercise is commenced too early, it can lead to synkinesis. Thank you in advance.
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.
@@ButheauPhysiotherapy Thank you for getting back to me. I started the eye exercise as soon as I received your response and will start with super gentle masssage. Your videos are an invaluable source of help for me.

hard to answer this without assessing. Consult with an opthalmologist.

If you have seen improvement in the first 3 months, there is a high chance of full recovery yes.

you should stretch eyelids in many different directions, and never pull down on lower eyelid.
Just that is wonderful
Good stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
You are the best ❤
thank you!
I had bells palsy since i was 6. Now im 28. Can i recover with those excercises😢. Im so sad. I cant smile properly. Please help me

Yes.
@@ButheauPhysiotherapy thank you and how many days expected eye closure could possibly.
