Facial palsy / Bell’s Palsy

Facial Palsy Physiotherapy

Facial Palsy / Bell’s Palsy

Facial palsy, commonly known as Bell’s Palsy, is a condition where there is sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. It usually occurs due to inflammation or viral infection affecting the facial nerve. Patients may experience drooping of the mouth or eyelid, difficulty in smiling, blinking, or speaking clearly. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in recovery by stimulating facial muscles, preventing stiffness, and retraining proper movements. With the right exercises and regular guidance, most patients regain their facial strength, expressions, and confidence over time.

  • Is physiotherapy effective for Bell’s Palsy?

    Yes, physiotherapy helps stimulate weak facial muscles, improves blood circulation, and speeds up recovery. It also prevents long-term stiffness and abnormal movements.

  • How long does recovery take?

    Most patients start improving within 3 to 6 weeks. However, full recovery may take a few months, depending on the severity of the condition and timely therapy.

  • Can physiotherapy prevent long-term facial weakness?
