Are you familiar with Bell's palsy?π€·ββοΈπ€·π€·ββοΈ
Long story short... Bell's palsy is a condition brought on when there is damage to the Facial Nerve aka Cranial Nerve #7π€π€π€
Bell's palsy presents as drooping of one side of the face and/or paralysis in multiple facial muscles. A person would notice that their eyesight, sense of smell, taste and/or hearing would be negatively effected.π₯°π₯°π₯°
As a Massage Therapist it is extremely important to know which of these muscles need to be stimulated and which need to be relaxed to bring homeostasis back to the neck, face and skull region.ππββοΈπββοΈ
