Bell's Palsy Treatment
Massage Tip

By , About.com Guide


Donald Lockhart, Reiki/Meditation/Massage Practitioner works mainly with stroke victims by increasing their range of motion and independence, using a structured treatment process. He offers this tip for treating Bell's Palsy patients:

Face Massage

By massaging the side of the face (above the eye down to the chin, behind the ear) and specifically the 7th cranial nerve (located just below the cheek bone) will soothe and alleviate pain and discomfort and thereby allow the paralysis to decrease.

Recommended Time: 15 to 20 minutes of massaging, followed by 15 minutes of good intention Reiki, both morning and night.
