Exercise each side of the face separately

 Exercise 1

Lying down with small mirror in hand

Raise the eyebrow with finger  –  look in the mirror. There shouldn’t be any activity  under the eye , as only your finger is working. Relax the eye. Now slowly raise the eyebrow using the forehead muscles. Concentrate on the forehead muscles of the side you are exercising and remove the finger support.

Try to gently retain eyebrow position.

This exercise is to encourage forehead movement without mass movement of the cheek. It will become easier with electrical work.



Exercise 2

Raise corner of mouth into a smile position. Keep the cheek relaxed.
Make the movement using a cotton bud, doing all the work with the cotton bud so that the muscles under the eye remain relaxed. Ignore the other side of your face. Think about the small muscles in your cheek, remove the bud and try to hold the smile.

This will eventually give you a nice smile without eye movement, whilst you are lying down !

Keep repeating this, in time you will be able to smile sitting up.

 Lying down without the mirror

Place fingers gently onto the forehead. Raise your eyes to look behind you.

Feel the wrinkles on your forehead, both sides working together. Soon you will feel more wrinkles.


After 2 months

Try these procedures sitting in front of a mirror as opposed to lying down.

Do not work too hard though, otherwise  you will get unwanted activity under opposite eye.

 Repeat 5 times per exercise  twice a day

 Hold each position up to 5 seconds

 It is the quality of the movement which is important.

 DO NOT RUSH.
