Easy Exercises For Bell's Palsy Face Facial Paralysis | Unable to Smile | Physical Therapy
Bell’s Palsy is often caused by a viral infection that causes the muscles in the face to lose strength. This can cause facial paralysis, sensation issues and trouble swallowing, blinking and much more. Today, Dr Alison Wu is sharing the progression she’s teaches her patients with Bell’s Palsy to slowly help regain correct sensation and get the facial muscles working again!

I was just diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. I am 66 yrs old and I gotta tell you, this is unnerving (lol no pun intended!) I cannot close the affected eye and get dry eye badly so have had to place gauze taped down and wear an eye patch to keep it secured. I am going to do these exercises and will follow-up with my results as l improve. I got this!! Thank you Dr for providing this awesome video.
this is fantastic! Thank you so much.Mine was bilateral and my one side is still weak 20 years later, but i still am gaining small movement through this.
This is amazing Doc! I can already feel my cheek moving more and eye opening over 15 years with Bells!
Day 1 wish me luck

You'll be fine. This will heal in time, sometimes fast or maybe 6 months or more. Take care of yourself and do the exercises.
Love this video and your gentle, loving energy. The anatomy graphics really help to understand what is going on.
Day 1. This is the best facial exercise I've done so far!❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all your help. i do the exercise's every day. God bless you!

Thank you so much for this! Would you possibly be able to tell me whether there's a cutoff length of time, after which recovery/improvement is impossible? I've had Bell's Palsy for 14 years, but I only recently found out that's what it is.
Cool exercises 👍Congrats on 200k subs!

Day 2 of diagnosis. Unable to take steroids due to adverse effects and preexisting conditions.L. Thank you so much for making this easy to understand. I hope to make a full or at least a big recovery.
Hi, im Bruce, im 59. At 9:52 pm June 3rd my vision became blurry followed by double vision, body sweats, excessive vomiting then the right side of my face was paralyzed. June 4th at 11:00am I was rushed to the hospital and by 12:30pm I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Not a stroke thank God. Today is June 18th. I can see straight. I can walk. My left ear is sore and sounds kinda hurt, my right side of my face is still 95% paralyzed but I'm improving every day. From what I've read this can all relapse in 10 years. Let's all keep in contact with our progress.
First day doing this exercises and I felt good, yesterday I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, I will do this exercises on a daily routine, I will let you know when I came back with full recovery, thank you doctor 🙏

Thank you for this video It really helps. If I may ask Can you also do another video about exxercises that will help with the muscle around the eyes and lips, due to bells Palsy I still wasn't able to fully close my eyes and my lips would still trembling when I talk. Thank you in advance!
I literally bit my tongue time after time due to this diagnosis. I speak flat timely. Exercise on mark
Thank you for all this. May I please ask, will this work for Ramsey Hunt Syndrome?
Its my first time trying this. Was diagnosed 2 days ago. ❤
Please answer the following question: which is right is to massage the cheek from the nose and mouth upward to the side of the eye or the other way around from the right side of the face toward the nose and the mouth?
I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy in 2019 and it’s mostly gone, but I still can’t smile. Do you think it could be fixed? It got mostly better from the face exercises they gave me, but I might not have done the mouth ones right. I want my smile back
Thank you
I had nerve and muscle graft on my face. I’m going to try if this will help with the healing process.
Doc what is the solution for the complicated bells palsy means when i eat may eye tear ,i would not smell and one side is not move up and down this case stayed with me for three year
I really like this video, I have had numbness to my upper lip for 5 years now after a needle hitting a nerve during a dental procedure and I would like to fix it. It has caused drooping in the corners of my mouth. I thinks these exercises may he help.
Great❤tq doctor
Thank u so much
Day 1 wish me a great luck 😊
Thank you for this video. Last May I was hit with Bells on the right side of my face. Doing your exercises has help greatly. The one question I have is when I do any of the exercises on my forehead I hear a cracking sound like my bones are breaking. Is this normal?
Tq very much❤
After 6 months with bad advise from my doctor i have to try this
Day 7 for me, how many times do you do these exercises in a day?
Thank you doc..i just want to master it i got bells phalsy
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%....Dr 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 1 month to 4 months mostly people can recover.
I had this 3yrs ago and still get pains from this day as well as having sore ears eyes face.
Hope this video will help me
How often to do these exercises and what's the best time of day to do exercises. Thanks Doc
I woke up on 3/10 & realized something was wrong. Immediately went to doc. & diagnosed with Bells Palsy. They put me on steriods and Valtrex for 7 days. It seemed to get worse over the first 3 days. By the 4th day tingling in my face started. Its 13 days now & i was hoping to see improvement. Will try these exercises. Have fatigue, facial, jaw & ear pain.
How soon after were diagnosed before we can start these stretches?
Great video. For the tongue exercises at ~7:15, we can move our jaw, correct? (You do, but I just wanted to confirm.) Thank you for the video!

Yes! Because of the tongue attachments to the bottom of the jaw, your jaw will follow the tongue

Will continue with these exercises.

How're you now? Healing or healed?
can we do this from day 1 of facial palsy? My doctor said one exercise for first week. Just let your muscle relax.
My new exercises.
Whenever I was doing Exercise #1, my left side was very loose, and my left side was my weaker side. My right side is the opposite, more muscular and bigger. Should I go to the doctor to check it out or do you all think the exercises should be fine to fix the problem
My former partner has been experiencing temporary facial drooping, which is alleviated by smoking a small amount of marijuana. I am concerned about the potential for this to become a recurring issue.
I had this from 3days i am. Doing this and i had an acute bells pslys is this recommend for me?
is it ok to hot compress after the facial exercise?
i had Bell's palsy two years ago, but now one side of my face is crooked again, so I have Bell's palsy again?

Got diagnosed 6 days ago. Have been on oral steroids and anti biotics. Haven't felt a noticeable improvement yet. Doctor told me to stay away from smoking and drinking but I am unable to and even nicotine supplements aren't helping me stay away from smoking Not sure how my paralysis will heal if I can't control
