Facial anatomy consists of 17 paired muscles and one unpaired muscle, uniquely structured to originate from bone and insert directly into the skin. Unlike other muscles in the body, the facial muscles are layered and interconnected through fascial tissue, which can develop adhesions that disrupt their natural function. Understanding these connections is key to unlocking improved facial movement.![]()

Synkineedling™ is an innovative technique pioneered by Jodi Barth, PT, co-founder of The Center for Facial and Functional Recovery. This advanced dry needling method targets and releases fascial adhesions that hinder muscle mobility. Utilizing a single-use, sterile, monofilament needle, and guided by ultrasound, Synkineedling™ effectively breaks up areas of restriction and enhances the freedom of facial muscle movement. This revolutionary approach significantly improves neuromuscular synkinesis—those involuntary, unwanted movements—allowing for more coordinated and efficient facial expressions. Comprehensive ultrasound assessments of facial muscles suffering from synkinesis reveal not only tissue flattening but also the presence of fascial adhesions that compromise mobility.![]()

Additionally, our trigger point dry needling technique serves as an essential treatment for addressing pain and movement dysfunctions related to myofascial trigger points. By strategically inserting thin needles into or near these trigger points, we stimulate muscle contraction and twitching, resulting in enhanced pain relief and a greater range of motion.![]()
