“My daughter suffered facial paralysis during her delivery. Will physical therapy help in better healing?”
My daughter is 32 and just after her delivery suffered from facial paralysis as her BP dropped. Though she is recovering, what physical therapy do you suggest for her fast recovery?

Facial exercises and galvanic electrical stimulation
Physical therapy will definitely help ,facial muscles exercises, stretching and facial massage.
Hello, I’m sorry to hear this happened. Your daughter would benefit best from a Speech pathologist.
Yes, PT will help with this.
Generally speaking, you'd want to exercise the flaccid facial muscles by practicing the many, many facial expressions that are possible. She may also benefit from point stimulation on the face, which is something she can only receive by seeing a physical therapist.
Yes, Please go see a physical therapist with a manual based background. I have experienced this many times in my clinic.
