According to Gaye Cronin, OTD, OTR, the director of the Neuromuscular Facial Retraining Program at the Atlanta Ear Clinic, "Neuromuscular facial retraining programs have proven to be successful in the recovery of facial function. Facial exercises for specific, isolated movements are included in these programs.
According to Dr. Richard Keller, DDS, of the American Academy of Biomedical trauma and Cranio-Facial Pain, "Facial exercises, especially for the muscles of mastication and those involving the tongue, are very effective in the realignment of the jaw and help to alleviate the pressure and pain associated with TMJ disorder.
Movement is crucial to the health of any system, especially the human body. It clears and cleans out blocks, impurities and other toxic wastes that can stagnate and impede the flow of vital nutrients to every cell in our physical body. Body movement also maintains the flow of venous blood and lymph, the housekeeper of the immune system. Active movement (exercise) coupled with passive movement (massage) of the facial muscles can immediately improve our appearance. Here’s how. As we consciously touch, move, and exercise our facial muscles blood flow increases, stress and tension melt away and the skin tone improves. Any residual stress, tension, or fatigue held in the muscles and soft tissue of the face releases. As the facial muscles tone we look younger and consequently feel better about ourselves.
Facial exercise and massage benefit us in many different ways. They can alleviate headache and eye strain associated with stress and tension. The under eye line diminisher strengthens the orbicularis oculi muscles located below and around the eyes. This particular exercise reduces puffiness and diminishes the stress lines that can form around the delicate eye area. Couple this exercise with the eye and brow massage and fluids that may build up causing bags below the eyes, flush out through the lymphatic ducts almost immediately. Body posture can also improve each day as we exercise and strengthen the neck and tongue muscles. When the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and platysma muscles strengthen we are able to hold our heads higher and more centered with less effort. The chin droops less and the jaw line is more defined. All of this toning and flushing and toning and flushing of facial muscles day after day refines the pores, prevents blemishes, and creates a rosy glowing countenance. As a result, the weight of the world begins to melt away and we see more clearly, hold our heads more erect and let go of unconscious facial expressions.
The bottom line about facial exercise and massage is this; whatever we put our attention on grows more in our lives. When we choose to consciously touch and move our face and neck muscles, we are choosing to change our appearance for the better. We are consciously choosing health and beauty, and that is what we perceive and receive more and more in return.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of facial neuromuscular re-education over conventional therapeutic measures in improving facial symmetry in patients with Bell's palsy. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Neurorehabilitation unit. SUBJECTS: Fifty-nine patients diagnosed with Bell's palsy were included in the study after they met the inclusion criteria. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: control (n = 30) and experimental (n = 29). INTERVENTIONS: Control group patients received conventional therapeutic measures while the facial neuromuscular re-education group patients received techniques that were tailored to each patient in three sessions per day for six days per week for a period of two weeks. MAIN MEASURES: All the patients were evaluated using a Facial Grading Scale before treatment and after three months. RESULTS: The Facial Grading Scale scores showed significant improvement in both control (mean 32 (range 9.7-54) to 54.5 (42.2-71.7)) and the experimental (33 (18-43.5) to 66 (54-76.7)) group. Facial Grading Scale change scores showed that experimental group (27.5 (20-43.77)) improved significantly more than the control group (16.5 (12.2-24.7)). Analysis of Facial Grading Scale subcomponents did not show statistical significance, except in the movement score (12 (8-16) to 24 (12-18)). CONCLUSION: Individualized facial neuromuscular re-education is more effective in improving facial symmetry in patients with Bell's palsy than conventional therapeutic measures.
