A member asked:

Are there any exercises to work the muscles on one side of the face if you had bell's palsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physical Therapy: Ask your doctor (pmd, neurologist) for a physical therapy prescription. You can try some one your own but i would recommend working with someone who can monitor your progress. I'm not advocating any specific sites, but there are some examples on the internet.
